This isn't a race condition, it is built into the filesystem. Later
versions of btrfs progs will pull the details right out of udev instead
of needing btrfsctl -a, but today the btrfsctl -a is the only way.
This is similar to what needs to happen on lvm, its just that the
initramfs tools already understand lvm ;)
