That's 4.7, so we might want to do stable backport to 4.9+.

And for that reason the change should be minimal, this patch depends on
current development queue so it's not suitable for the backport.
I'm thinking what to do here, I want to avoid patches that effectively
revert changes that are still in the development branch and haven't been
released.
This means to rework "btrfs: Do mandatory tree block check before
submitting bio", though it's deep in the branch, the scope of changes is
only 2 files so this should not cause any conflicts.
