Btrfs can be remounted without barrier, but there is no "barrier" option
so nobody can remount btrfs back with barrier on. Only umount and
mount again can re-enable barrier.(Quite awkward)

Also the mount options in the document is also changed slightly for the
further pairing options changes.

Please use
  "Enable/Disable ..."
to match order on the options barrier(*) then nobarrier immediately above.

And:
  "...  If disabled on a device with a volatile"
to make more sense when both enable and disable options are listed.
