btrfs: support cloned-device mount capability

Guilherme's previous work [1] aimed at the mounting of cloned devices
using a superblock flag SINGLE_DEV during mkfs.

Building upon this work, here is in memory only approach. As it mounts
we determine if the same fsid is already mounted if then we generate a
random temp fsid which shall be used the mount, in memory only not
written to the disk. We distinguish devices by devt.

Example:
  $ fallocate -l 300m ./disk1.img
  $ mkfs.btrfs -f ./disk1.img
  $ cp ./disk1.img ./disk2.img
  $ cp ./disk1.img ./disk3.img
  $ mount -o loop ./disk1.img /btrfs
  $ mount -o ./disk2.img /btrfs1
  $ mount -o ./disk3.img /btrfs2

  $ btrfs fi show -m
