In what this is different from '(getuid() == 0)' ? 
Which would be the cases where an error different from EPERM would be returned (other than the filesystem is not a BTRFS one )?

I am not against to this kind of function. However with this implementation is not clear its behavior:
- does it check if the user has enough privileges to perform a BTRFS_IOC_TREE_SEARCH
or 
- does it check if BTRFS_IOC_TREE_SEARCH might return some error ?

If the former, I would put this function into utils.[hc] checking only the [e]uid of the user. If the latter the name is confusing...

The reason I wrote this function is that the permission for BTRFS_IOC_TREE_SEARCH is
CAP_SYS_ADMIN and might not equal uid == 0.

However, it seems that get_euid() is simple and enough for btrfs-progs, so I will
use it instead of this function in next version.

Thanks,
