Unfortunately I found a situation where ignoring level 0 qgroups
without a corresponding subvolume during probing leads to
problems:

The level 0 qgroup can be assigned to a higher level qgroup. If
that higher level qgroup should be removed, all relations must be
removed in advance. Without having the level 0 qgroup in the
devicegraph also the relation is not known and thus the relation
cannot be removed. And 'btrfs qgroup destroy' does not have a
--force option.

So I think all qgroups must be probed. But modifying level 0
qgroups without a corresponding subvolume is not supported.
