Following this patch the idea is to use lblkid to scan
for the btrfs disks by default which means we don't
use BTRFS_SCAN_PROC any more.
Firstly, i would like to know if we will get any different results between
scanning
/proc/partions and using lbkid.
I take blkid as a more authoritative source, /proc/partitions was a
workaround to avoid scanning the whole /dev directory.
If not, why we can use liblkid totally,since this is more simple.
Agreed, blkid by default and --all-devices as a last resort fallback.
compiled using BTRFS_SCAN_LBLKID as default.

The other choice is to use both, 'BTRFS_SCAN_PROC | BTRFS_SCAN_DEV'
for --all-devices option. in that way proc-way will still be in there.
