This patch will disable clone detection of send.

Making that unconditional is not the right way. We do have the send
operation flags in place so if you really think there's a need for
disabling the clones, let's add a flag for that (BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_*).


The problem is, we don't know if it will cause problem  until it happens.
So the flag like BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_DISABLE_CLONE won't really help, unless it becomes the default flag.

Anyway, the RFC patch is not meant to be merged, but only to get idea and advice to how to really fix the problem.

I think Filipe will have some good idea after he understand the real problem behind the bug, since he is much more experienced than me in send code.

Thanks,
Qu
