So I can't help you out with why scrub fails. That sounds like a bug,
not least of which is there's no information why it's failing. So I
suggest filing a bug with what you know to date and include in this
thread for reference. The main point is that there *are* errors (a lot
of them apparently) needing fixing up, but somehow certain kernel
versions are aborting and there's no information why.

Next you need to find out why this one device has so many errors. Put
the output from smartctl -x /dev/sdb somewhere, maybe even attach it
to the bug report since it's somewhat related. Either that device is
simply unreliable, or you've got a bad cable connection.

You need to include an entire dmesg, or even better would be dmesg and
also 'journalctl -b -o short-monotonic' attached to the bug report
also. While there may be no btrfs messages indicating what's going on,
there might be usb or libata message indicating hardware problems that
are instigating.
