This patch adds a warning to let the user know when the legacy
qgroup creation / removal API is in use. Eventually, we can
deprecate this API.

Would be better to use the btrfs_info helper otherwise the user does not
know on which filesystem it happened.

Deprecation of v1 makes sense but the ioctl must stay anyway, similar to
other v1/v2 ioctls that we have. In long-term and long-living distros,
the applications probably use the deprecated interfaces so the syslog
message causes noise. I'd first document the deprecation and add a real
warning in a few releases maybe.
