Commit Message

Move the full-balance warning to before the fork, so that the user can
see and react to it.

Notes on test:

- Don't use grep -q, as it causes a SIGPIPE during the countdown, and
  the balance thus doesn't start.

- The "balance cancel" is superfluous as the last command, but it
  provides some idempotence and allows adding more tests below it.

Fixes: https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues/168

This needs -q, otherwise the text appears in the output of make. Fixed.

What of the SIGPIPE problem mentioned in the commit message?

If using -q is preferred despite of that, then probably the note about 
it should be removed from the commit message, and the "cancel" 
afterwards should probably be removed as well (along with its note in 
the commit message too), as the SIGPIPE will prevent the balance from 
ever starting.

Perhaps redirecting the output of grep to /dev/null is a better option.

Not a big issue but for some reason my email address was mangled 
(@panteleev.md instead of @vladimir.panteleev.md). Looks fine when I 
look at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11099359/mbox/.

Agreed, I've updated the patch to remove -q and add the redirection.

Hm, strange. I'll fix the patches from you so they match your
expectations. The mangled domain name does not appear anywhere in the
mail headers, I wonder what's going on here.
