In the past the device name was passed directly to the kernel, which operated
in an appropriate manner if it was "missing".
The commit e3c9596d3fc8b0df647a6cbae55c2d77570de759 introduced a check so if
the argument is not a real device, an error is raised.
So, now, if "missing" is passed, btrfs(-progs) stops because it is not a real
device.
This change is quite old (dec 2013); however it seems that this is the first
time that a complaint is raised.
