Btrfs: faster/more efficient insertion of file extent items
This is an extension to my previous commit titled:
"Btrfs: faster file extent item replace operations"
(hash 1acae57b161ef1282f565ef907f72aeed0eb71d9)
Instead of inserting the new file extent item if we deleted existing
file extent items covering our target file range, also allow to insert
the new file extent item if we didn't find any existing items to delete
and replace_extent != 0, since in this case our caller would do another
tree search to insert the new file extent item anyway, therefore just
combine the two tree searches into a single one, saving cpu time, reducing
lock contention and reducing btree node/leaf COW operations.
This covers the case where applications keep doing tail append writes to
files, which for example is the case of Apache CouchDB (its database and
view index files are always open with O_APPEND).
