Although btrfs-convert can rollback converted btrfs, it still has some
limitation to ensure rollback.

Add a warning on the limitations.

Also add a note for users who decides to go on with btrfs and don't need
the rollback ability.

+WARNING: To ensure *btrfs-convert* be able to rollback btrfs, one should never
+execute *btrfs filesystem defragment* or *btrfs balance* command on the
+converted btrfs.

+NOTE: If one is satisfied with converted btrfs, and not longer wants to
+rollback to ext*, it is highly recommended to remove 'ext2_saved' subvolume
