Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs-progs: detect if the disk we are formatting is a ssd

SSD's do not gain anything by having metadata DUP turned on.  The underlying

file system that is a part of all SSD's could easily map duplicate metadat

blocks into the same erase block which effectively eliminates the benefit of

duplicating the metadata on disk.  So detect if we are formatting a single

SSD drive and if we are do not use DUP.  Thanks,
