[enhancement]
When a disk is formatted as btrfs, it calls
btrfs_prepare_device for each device, which takes too much time.

[implementation]
Put each btrfs_prepare_device into a thread,
wait for the first thread to complete to mkfs.btrfs,
and wait for other threads to complete before adding
other devices to the file system.

[test]
Using the btrfs-progs test case mkfs-tests, mkfs.btrfs works fine.

Use tcmu-runner emulation to simulate two devices for testing.
Each device is 2000G (about 19.53 TiB), the region size is 4MB,
Use the following parameters for targetcli
create name=zbc0 size=20000G cfgstring=model-HM/zsize-4/conv-100@~/zbc0.raw

Call difftime to calculate the running time of the function btrfs_prepare_device.
Calculate the time from thread creation to completion of all threads after
patching (time calculation is not included in patch submission)
The test results are as follows.

$ lsscsi -p
[10:0:1:0]   (0x14)  LIO-ORG  TCMU ZBC device  0002  /dev/sdb   -          none
[11:0:1:0]   (0x14)  LIO-ORG  TCMU ZBC device  0002  /dev/sdc   -          none

$ sudo mkfs.btrfs -d single -m single -O zoned /dev/sdc /dev/sdb -f
....
time for prepare devices:4.000000.
....

$ sudo mkfs.btrfs -d single -m single -O zoned /dev/sdc /dev/sdb -f
...
time for prepare devices:2.000000.
...

Issue: 496

V1:
* Put btrfs_prepare_device into threads and make them parallel

V2:
* Set the 4 variables used by btrfs_prepare_device as global variables.
* Use pthread_mutex to ensure error messages are not messed up.
* Correct the error message
* Wait for all threads to exit in a loop

V3:
* Add prefix opt to the global variables
* Format code
* Add error handler for open

V4:
* initialize the global options
