Make Diferences between rescue in LVM and BTRF File System

Why this change is needed:

With the new default system in BTRF as Defautl for new instalation
this procedure needs updated.

What this change accomplishes:

. Reflect the diferences between rescue a system in a LVM/BTRF file System.
. Remove Sequence Number Warninig in a debug-dracut-problems.adoc

fix ticket: #316

Note: Please don't push .adoc with Warning Messages is quite anoying
