This type of error-filesystem is created by old btrfs-convert,
Reported by: Chris Murphy <li...@colorremedies.com>
In maillist, with title:
[BUG] kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/scrub.c:1956!, when scrubbing freshly convert

Then we get the reason: It is caused by bug in btrfs-convert.
Detail is in maillist titled:
RE: [BUG] kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/scrub.c:1956!, when scrubbing freshly 
converted ext
In 2015-7-23

And fixed btrfs-progs, to avoid creating such a wrong filesystem
with btrfs-convert, and report this type of error in fsck.
With patch titled:
[PATCH 0/4] Metadata crossing stripe boundary fixes
[PATCH 1/4] btrfs: print-tree: print stripe len of a chunk
[PATCH 2/4] btrfs: fsck: Check if a metadata tree block crossing stripe boundary
[PATCH 3/4] btrfs: extent-tree: Avoid allocating tree block that cross stripe 
boundar
[PATCH 4/4] btrfs: convert: Avoid allocating metadata extent crossing stripe 
boundary
In 2015-7-23

Also fixed kernel code to avoid panic with:
[PATCH] btrfs: Fix scrub panic when leaf accross stripes in btrfs maillist.
In 2015-7-23

Above patchs are in current btrfs-progs and integration-4.3
branch.

But it is still uncorrectable because neither kernel nor btrfsck can fix
it(only can report).

In short, it is caused by old version of btrfs-convert, and already fixed,
and this patch is used to make scrub report it in output.
