Whether or not this order is possible depends on the patchset. If we do
VFS level conversions that impact all filesystems we will do changes to
all filesystems in one go if the changes need to be done all at the same
time as we have done many times in the past. There's really nothing new.

We'll likely end pulling in the required btrfs changes from you anyway
so Jan's series isn't blocked indefinitely from getting testing in
-next.
