btrfs_check_and_handle_casualty() tries to perfom auto-replacement
only once after each failure. If no hotspare was added in system before failure, only one
remaining way to replace drive is to perform replace manually. This sounds
reasonable, so just clarification: are you sure that we shouldn't start
autoreplacement if hotspare will be added after drive failure?

V1 of the patchset tried to perform autoreplace endlessly until replace
drive is added.
