Or, as we care for openSUSE and not SLE, the Leap 42.2 release notes contain the instructions too:
https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/42.2/
Even with the distinction if you have a "@" subvolume or not...
I did not investigate that instructions in detail but on first glance it looks rather complicated.
In particular I wonder why /usr/sbin/mksubvolume is not used to create such subvolumes in compliance with our SLE12, Leap, and Tumbleweed default btrfs subvolume structures?
Well, this structure was a *proposal* so far and user is completely free to refuse it and chose its own scheme, not? So you cannot assume every subvolume proposed by default during installation exists. OTOH when /var/cache is proposed as separate volume, good chances are user will keep it; but if it was not proposed in the first place user likely would not think about adding it. So instructions how to add single volume are still useful. Also this is not limited to /var/cache. User may opt out mysql subvolume during installation because no mySQL was originally installed but may opt to install it later. What should happen in this case? It would be good to have at least some reminder about possible problems when leaving database on root btrfs subvolume ...

I think more and more issues indicate that (open)SUSE really needs an "official" tool that can create and remove btrfs subvolumes in full compliance with our various kind of default btrfs subvolume structures on SLE12, Leap, and Tumbleweed, cf. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-10/msg00434.html
