This patch is a preparatory work and does not make sense for backport
standalone. Either this one plus
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20210303104152.105877-2-wqu@suse.com/
or neither. And IIRC it does not apply directly and needs some
additional review before it can be backported to older code base, so it
has no CC: stable tags.
