btrfs scrub will not start nor cancel howto

[Marc MERLIN]

This has been asked a few times, so I ended up writing a blog entry on
it
http://marc.merlins.org/perso/btrfs/post_2014-04-26_Btrfs-Tips_-Cancel-A-Btrfs-Scrub-That-Is-Already-Stopped.html
and in the end pasted all of it in the main wiki
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Problem_FAQ#btrfs_scrub_will_not_start_nor_cancel

Of course, this is really a stopgap until the cancel tool can realize
that the scrub isn't really running anymore, and update the state file
on its own.

Thanks.  As you said, this has come up a few times, so having it
on the wiki is a very good thing. =:^)
