Control: block 1085207 by -1

[ Reason ]
btrfs-convert <= 6.3.1 has a long existing bug that produces bad chksum
when converting from ext4 [1][2][3]. Although data is not corrupted,
the checksum errors are not easy to fix. And users would get lots of
complaints from btrfs module when using the corrupted fs.

[ Impact ]
They will still get the wrong behavior and obtain btrfs structure with
lots of wrong checksums.

[ Tests ]
Tested by users and me. After applying, the problem described in [1]
does not reproduce any more.

[ Risks ]
Code is simple. Detailed explanation and reproducer is in patch header
and in [1].

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
I cherry-picked a patch from a fixed upstream version.

[ Other info ]
I'm not sure about the versioning, since this is both a NMU and stable-
pu. Maybe .1 is not needed or in the wrong position.
