[PATCH v2 0/2] btrfs-progs: receive: introduce new --clone-fallback option

When parent stream and incremental stream are received with different
nodatasum mount options, any clone opeartion in the incremental stream
will be rejected by kernel.

There are more situations to cause clone failure, like receiving a stream
on a fs with different sectorsize.

Thus this patchset will introduce a new option, --clone-fallback, for
btrfs receive to fall back to buffered write when clone failed.

This fall back behavior will only happen if the new option is explicitly
specified, as such behavior can hide some send bugs, and under most sane
cases users don't need such option.

Also add a test case for the new option.

Changelog:
RFC->v1:
- Introduce a new option for the fallback behavior
To avoid hide send bugs.

- Hide the warning message behind -v option
Since we have a special option for it thus users are aware of what
they are doing, there is no need to output such warning by default.

- Add a new test case for it

v2:
- Add the missing help string for --clone-fallback option

- Rephrase the words in comments and commit messages

- Add run_check_remount_test_dev() helper
