For what it is worth, the cause of this bug was that the creation of
static device nodes (including /dev/btrfs-control) moved from
systemd-udevd to systemd-tmpfiles, but we forgot to add a call to
tmpfiles in the udev hook. This has now been fixed and the systemd in
testing should work with btrfs without the need for adding any modules
manually.
