radix-tree: free up the bottom bit of exceptional entries for reuse
We are guaranteed that pointers to radix_tree_nodes always have the
bottom two bits clear (because they come from a slab cache, and slab
caches have a minimum alignment of sizeof(void *)), so we can redefine
'radix_tree_is_internal_node' to only return true if the bottom two bits
have value '01'. This frees up one quarter of the potential values for
use by the user.
