I checked the related code, and didn't find anything obvious.

But there is a chance that the image is intentionally corrupted so that
we got a reloc root but incorrect root owner.

Thus I sent out a patch to make that triggering ASSERT() to a more
graceful exit:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/24881cc9caf738f6248232709d7357d3186773b5.1690782754.git.wqu@suse.com/T/#u

Although I never got the C reproducer to trigger, thus no confirmation
on that.

Thanks,
Qu
