v2:
 Almost a resend; no code was altered, except for the change log.

The following test scenario (as in fstests btrfs/249) shows an issue
where the "usage" subcommand fails to retrieve the fsid from the
superblock for a missing device.

Create a raid1 seed device while one of its device missing.
   $ mkfs.btrfs -f -draid1 -mraid1 $DEV1 $DEV2
   $ btrfstune -S 1 $DEV1
   $ wipefs -a $DEV2

Mount the seed device
   $ btrfs device scan --forget
   $ mount -o degraded $DEV1 /btrfs

Add a sprout device
   $ btrfs device add $DEV3 /btrfs -f

The usage subommand fails because we try to read superblock for the missing
device
   $ btrfs filesystem usage /btrfs
     ERROR: unexpected number of devices: 1 >= 1
     ERROR: if seed device is used, try running this command as root

The commit a26d60dedf9a ("btrfs: sysfs: add devinfo/fsid to retrieve
actual fsid from the device") introduced a sysfs interface for
retrieving the fsid of a device. This change allows for the reading of the
device fsid through the sysfs interface in the kernel, while retaining the
old method of reading the superblock from the disk for backward
compatibility during normal, non-missing device conditions.
