Why cross filesystem boundaries by default?  If you scan from the root
subvolume you're guanteed to traverse every file on the filesystem
(which is all that can be deduped) without crossing any filesystem
boundaries.  Even if you have btrfs on non-btrfs on btrfs there must
be some other path that reaches the same files when scanning from
subvolid 0.
