[PATCH] fstests: btrfs: a new test case to verify scrub and rescue=idatacsums

There is a kernel bug report that scrub will trigger a NULL pointer
dereference when rescue=idatacsums mount option is provided.

Add a test case for such situation, to verify kernel can gracefully
reject scrub when there is no csum tree.
