The idea seems similar to my attempt to add listing of toplevel-only
(i.e. non-snapshot) subvolumes, which can be found here:

https://github.com/hhoffstaette/btrfs-progs/commit/f0a065e02b

I ended up not submitting it since nobody seemed interested at the time
and I could work around it for my own purposes by filtering manually on
parent uuid (more precisely the lack thereof).
