Btrfs: more efficient push_leaf_right
Currently when finding the leaf to insert a key into a btree, if the leaf doesn't have enough space to store the item we attempt to move off some items from our leaf to its right neighbor leaf, and if this fails to create enough free space in our leaf, we try to move off more items to the left neighbor leaf as well. When trying to move off items to the right neighbor leaf, if it has enough room to store the new key but not not enough room to move off at least one item from our target leaf, __push_leaf_right returns 1 and we have to attempt to move items to the left neighbor (push_leaf_left function) without touching the right neighbor leaf. For the case where the right leaf has enough room to store at least 1 item from our leaf, we end up modifying (and dirtying) both our leaf and the right leaf. This is non-optimal for the case where the new key is greater than any key in our target leaf because it can be inserted at slot 0 of the right neighbor leaf and we don't need to touch our leaf at all nor to attempt to move off items to the left neighbor leaf. Therefore this change just selects the right neighbor leaf as our new target leaf if it has enough room for the new key without modifying our initial target leaf - we do this only if the new key is higher than any key in the initial target leaf. While running the following test, push_leaf_right was called by split_leaf 4802 times. Out of those 4802 calls, for 2571 calls (53.5%) we hit this special case (right leaf has enough room and new key is higher than any key in the initial target leaf).
