If one of the copy of the superblock is zero it does not
confirm to us that btrfs isn't there on that disk. When
we are having more than one copy of superblock we should
rather let the for loop to continue to check other copies.

the following test case and results would justify the
fix

mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb /dev/sdc -f
mount /dev/sdb /btrfs
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=8 of=/dev/sdc seek=$((64*1024+64))
~/before/btrfs-select-super -s 1 /dev/sdc
using SB copy 1, bytenr 67108864

here btrfs-select-super just wrote superblock to a mounted btrfs

Why does not check_mounted() catch this in the first place? Ie. based on
the status in /proc/mounts not on random bytes in the superblock.

 the reason is, as of now /proc/mounts just knows about the devid 1.

Thanks, Anand
