While commit 298a8f9cf17d2f2e1ffc41e5e247fa3695a8a76f avoids this crash, I'm now getting further issues with the test failing. Need to bisect on this more.

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

This is verified as fixed with the Ubuntu 4.2.0-41 kernel as supported by the 14.04.4 Trusty LTS. The fix is out of scope for backporting to Precise, especially as btrfs is deemed experimental.
