It's ok to use 0 here, it's a superblock change and not related the the
metadata (similar to changing the label).

I think it's better to use btrfs_commit_transaction. The ioctl is about
to do a permanent change, any crash between ioctl and full commit will
revert to previous state of the features. This is not IMO desirable from
administrators POV.

(Sidenote, IOC_SET_FSLABEL needs the same update.)

I wonder if it makes sense to add spare bytes here, but does not seem
necessary.

The ioctl number 54 clashes with the OOB dedup merged into 3.12, 55 is
for the in-bound dedup and Anand has claimed 56. I've allocated 57 for
you and updated th wiki page:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas#Development_notes.2C_please_read

Stefan's trick to reuse the same number is really neat.
