Live USB has kernel 4.5.7. Maybe I should try to run "btrfs rescue
zero-log" and then mount RW? Will the files safe in that case?

As I could see, almost all the "deleted" files are present. Certainly,
I'll make an rsync diff between two-week-ago snapshot and the current
FS state. But it will better if in-place recover without backup is
possible.

P.S. IMHO, log replay by default is a quite dangerous thing. I didn't
know about that change and I could lose all files if the live USB had
4.6 kernel))
