I'm not sure we need this. There are 2 flags, we don't need the
atomicity of test/set _bit, the values don't change too often so
protecting by the mutex should be suffictient.

The size of btrfs_device is also not a big concern, it will be stored in
the 512 byte kmalloc bin and it's size is close to the size so replacing
2 ints with one long will not gain anything.

The 3rd flag would cause other problems and is not the right solution to
the scan/mount problem.
