Make sure missing device is included in the alloc list when it is

This test case needs btrfs kernel patch which is in the ML
[PATCH] btrfs: handle dynamically reappearing missing device
Without the kernel patch, the test will run, but reports as
failed, as the device scanned won't appear in the alloc_list.
So that patch was never merged, at least not with that subject.
What happened?
The contending patch at V5 (with fixed comments as received) was
working fine at the then latest kernel version, now its out dated,
and I am not sure where to invest my time, it will be better to
have David's comment, if he has any concern on the idea/approach
in general. I am ok to revive the patch.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git/tree/tests/btrfs/154
In my testing of misc-next this test has been failing for me.
Don't bother about that patch I am sure its not good on the current
kernel.
recent hole punch
test, that doesn't have a corresponding kernel fix.
Hole punching kernel patch, fixes a corner case, I tried but failed.
Until my current priority list recedes I won't be able to look into
it again. If you would like to pick this up pls go ahead. I think it
will easy for you.
Lastly, I think its a good idea to record the current known limitation
as a test cases, even if it fails, in that way it gets documented.
Thanks, Anand
