Thanks a lot for the comments.

modprobe -r btrfs will do btrfs_cleanup_fs_uuids(), where it cleanup
every %fs_devices on the list, but when we do btrfs_close_devices(), we
have replaced the devices on the list with dummy ones which only have
the same name and uuid, so modprobe -r btrfs will free those instead
of what we were using, this change won't cause a problem for it.

Thanks,
