No, there isn't any such bug.

If there are no reloc roots, it means there's no relocation to resume,
in which case err is already 0 and we therefore return 0.
By setting err to -ENOENT, that will cause a mount failure on any fs
that does not have relocation to resume.

You could have tested this simply by doing:

$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt/sdc
mount: /mnt/sdc: mount(2) system call failed: No such file or directory.

It's always a good idea to test patches, even if we are very
comfortable with the code they are touching...

Thanks.
