Subject: [PATCH 4.9 023/177] btrfs: fix a bogus warning when converting only data or metadata

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Adam Borowski <kilobyte@...band.pl>


[ Upstream commit 14506127979a5a3d0c5d9b4cc76ce9d4ec23b717 ]

If your filesystem has, eg, data:raid0 metadata:raid1, and you run "btrfs
balance -dconvert=raid1", the meta.target field will be uninitialized.
That's otherwise ok, as it's unused except for this warning.

Thus, let's use the existing set of raid levels for the comparison.

As a side effect, non-convert balances will now nag about data>metadata.
