I did some changes to the code:

 * use mnt_resolve_target() rather than mnt_resolve_spec() for target
 * move all to get_btrfs_fs_root()
 * make the basic if/else more readable

Please, please, test it.

It would be nice to have tests/ts/mount/btrfs with all the "mount -a"
variants you have in commit messages.

You know, perfect is the enemy of good :-)
