It looks like a bug to me if btrfs needs to reload module to clean up
the device list. If a user builds btrfs in kernel then he cannot replace
btrfs device properly? Or it's not totally clear to me why a test needs
to reload btrfs module.

The name seems misleading, the name indicates that it requires btrfs to
be unloadable, but in the code it _notrun if btrfs is unloadable.
