I think it's still needed, or the balance process would block the
later umount and test fails like

Adding debug output of "lsof $SCRATCH_MNT" and "ps aux | grep btrfs"
before umount shows it's the balance process is still running and
blocks the umount.

lsof /mnt/testarea/scratch
btrfs   13491 root    3r   DIR   0,40       42  256 /mnt/testarea/scratch
ps aux | grep btrfs
....

Killing the balance pid is to stop any further balance operation, wait
is waiting for the child process (_btrfs_stress_balance), not the
child's child process (balance process). So only wait is not enough,
we should wait for the balance to finish explicitly.

This is also true for the rest of the test cases in this series. This
is kind of ugly, but I cannot figure out a better solution right now..

Thanks,
Eryu
