Btrfs: avoid losing data raid profile when deleting a device
We've avoided data losing raid profile when doing balance, but it
turns out that deleting a device could also result in the same
problem.
Say we have 3 disks, and they're created with '-d raid1' profile.
- We have chunk P (the only data chunk on the empty btrfs).
- Suppose that chunk P's two raid1 copies reside in disk A and disk B.
- Now, 'btrfs device remove disk B'
btrfs_rm_device()
-> btrfs_shrink_device()
-> btrfs_relocate_chunk() #relocate any chunk on disk B
to other places.
- Chunk P will be removed and a new chunk will be created to hold
those data, but as chunk P is the only one holding raid1 profile,
after it goes away, the new chunk will be created as single profile
which is our default profile.
This fixes the problem by creating an empty data chunk before
relocating the data chunk.
Metadata/System chunk are supposed to have non-zero bytes all the time
so their raid profile is preserved.
