Btrfs: don't read leaf blocks containing only checksums during truncate
Checksum items take up a significant portion of the metadata for large files. It is possible to avoid reading them during truncates by checking the keys in the higher level nodes. If a given leaf is followed by another leaf where the lowest key is a checksum item from the same file, we know we can safely delete the leaf without reading it. For a 32GB file on a 6 drive raid0 array, Btrfs needs 8s to delete the file with a cold cache. It is read bound during the run. With this change, Btrfs is able to delete the file in 0.5s Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
