Btrfs: Switch the extent buffer rbtree into a radix tree
This patch reduces the CPU time spent in the extent buffer search by using the
radix tree instead of the rbtree and using the rcu lock instead of the spin
lock.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found the patch improve the
file creation/deletion performance problem that I have reported[2].
Before applying this patch:
Create files:
Total files: 50000

Average time: 0.000019
Delete files:
