The Git change log also doesn't say anything > about it. The old code also tested BTRFS_IOC_BALANCE_CTL ioctl. The point is to use the helper to kill the background task running balance in a loop, so for every _btrfs_stress_balance() call we have a matching _btrfs_kill_stress_balance_pid(). Doing the kill + cancel is equivalent to what the helper does, and the goal of the test is not to exercise the balance cancel.
