Just symlink/copy fsck.btrfs to (/bin/)true.

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#What.27s_the_difference_between_btrfsck_and_fsck.btrfs

Or just do the /etc/fstab fs_passno = 0 thing, which is what I did with
reiserfs, so no change in that regard here when I switched to btrfs
for most partitions.

But I'm on gentoo and haven't opted to drink the systemd koolaid yet,
so what it thinks about that I wouldn't know.
