Finally find the stable method to reproduce the problem on 3.16-rc2,
the point is if we mount subvol,ro first, then you can't mount the hole 
device:

# mkfs.btrfs  -f /dev/sda6
# mount /dev/sda6  /mnt/btrfs/
# btrfs sub create /mnt/btrfs/subv
Create subvolume '/mnt/btrfs/subv'
# umount /mnt/btrfs
# mount -o subvol=subv,ro /dev/sda6  /mnt/other/
# LANG=C mount /dev/sda6  /mnt/btrfs/
mount: /dev/sda6 is already mounted or /mnt/btrfs busy
        /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /mnt/other

Thanks,
