This ioctl will be responsible for deleting a subvolume using its id. This can be used when a system has a file system mounted from a subvolume, rather than the root file system, like below: / @subvol1/ @subvol2/ @subvol_default/ If only @subvol_default is mounted, we have no path to reach @subvol1 and @subvol2, thus no way to delete them. Current subvolume delete ioctl takes a file handle point as argument, and if @subvol_default is mounted, we can't reach @subvol1 and @subvol2 from the same mount point. This patch introduces a new ioctl BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY_V2 that takes the extended structure with flags to allow to delete subvolume using subvolid. Now, we can use this new ioctl specifying the subvolume id and refer to the same mount point. It doesn't matter which subvolume was mounted, since we can reach to the desired one using the subvolume id, and then delete it. The full path to the subvolume id is resolved internally and access is verified as if the subvolume was accessed by path. The volume args v2 structure is extended to use the existing union for subvolume id specification, that's valid in case the BTRFS_SUBVOL_SPEC_BY_ID is set.
