Support resizing btrfs filesystems.
The existing code has two issues with btrfs:
1) The command to resize a btrfs filesystem uses a path to the mount
point, not the underlying device:
$ btrfs filesystem resize max /dev/vda1
ERROR: unable to resize '/dev/vda1' - Inappropriate ioctl for device
Resize '/dev/vda1' of 'max'
$ btrfs filesystem resize max /
Resize '/' of 'max'
2) The code that is given a path and finds the ID of the device where
the path is mounted doesn't work for btrfs:
Use /proc/$$/mountinfo to find the device where path is mounted.
This is done because with a btrfs filesystem using os.stat(path)
does not return the ID of the device.
Here, / has a device of 18 (decimal).
$ stat /
File: '/'
Size: 234 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 12h/18d Inode: 256 Links: 1

Find where / is mounted:
$ mount | grep ' / '
/dev/vda1 on / type btrfs (rw,subvol=@,compress=lzo)
And the device ID for /dev/vda1 is not 18:
$ ls -l /dev/vda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 1 Jan 13 08:29 /dev/vda1
So use /proc/$$/mountinfo to find the device underlying the input
path.
