From: Adam Borowski kilobyte@angband.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.
