Btrfs uses chunk map to build a logical address space.

And all bytenrs in btrfs are in that logical address space, not physical
disk bytenr.

So you need refer to chunk mapping to get the real on-disk bytenr.

You could consider inside btrfs there is another layer like LVM, and
btrfs is on a super large virtual device.

The result returned by fiemap() is just the bytenr in that virtual
device (LV).
For real on-disk bytenr (PV), you need to do the mapping calculation.
