Bug:
 # btrfs-image -t0 -c9 /dev/sda6 /tmp/btrfs_image.img
 (hang)
 # btrfs-image -r -t0 /tmp/btrfs_image.img /dev/sda6
 (hang)

Reason:
 Program need to create at least 1 thread for compress/decompress.
 but if user specify -t0 in argument, it overwrite the default value
 of 1, then the program really created 0 thread, and caused above
 error.

Fix:
 We can add a check, to make program not allow -t0 argument,
 but there are still exist another problem.
 for ex, in node with 4 cpus:
 btrfs-image -c9 -t1: 4 threads (1 means use nr_cpus)
             -c9 -t2: 2 threads
             -c9 -t3: 3 threads
             ...
 (-t1 have more threads than -t2 and -t3)

 So we change to use value of 0 as "use nr_cpus threads", then:
 btrfs-image [no -t arg]: use nr_cpus threads
             -t0:         use nr_cpus threads
             -t val:      use val threads.
