Can't delete Btrfs filesystems set up with RAID (device busy) #22292

Explain what happens

I discovered this bug during the Anaconda Web UI Test Day, so the steps make use of Anaconda Web UI too.
According to the Anaconda dev team, this is a cockpit-storage bug.

  1. Install Fedora following these steps. You'll end up with a RAID1 Btrfs setup: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_webui_guided_multi_empty_all
  2. Try to install Fedora one more time by following this other procedure, using either disk: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_webui_custom_standard_partition_xfs

You can't go past step 5 of the test case, as you can't remove the replicated filesystem (this device is currently in use).
