In open_seed_devices(), when find_fsid() fails and we're in DEGRADED
mode, a new fs_devices is allocated via alloc_fs_devices() but is never
added to the seed_list before returning. This contrasts with the normal
path where fs_devices is properly added via list_add().

If any error occurs later in read_one_dev() or btrfs_read_chunk_tree(),
the cleanup code iterates seed_list to free seed devices, but this
orphaned fs_devices is never found and never freed, causing a memory
leak. Any devices allocated via add_missing_dev() and attached to this
fs_devices are also leaked.

Fix this by adding the newly allocated fs_devices to seed_list in the
degraded path, consistent with the normal path.
