We cannot use the loop device which has been connected to a file in the btrf
The reproduce steps is following:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=vdev0 bs=1M count=1024
# losetup /dev/loop0 vdev0
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop0
...
failed to zero device start -5
The reason is that the btrfs don't implement either ->write_begin or ->write
the VFS API, so we fix it by setting ->write to do_sync_write().
