btrfs: only copy dir index keys when logging a directory

Currently, when logging a directory, we copy both dir items and dir index
items from the fs/subvolume tree to the log tree. Both items have exactly
the same data (same struct btrfs_dir_item), the difference lies in the key
values, where a dir index key contains the index number of a directory
entry while the dir item key does not, as it's used for doing fast lookups
of an entry by name, while the former is used for sorting entries when
listing a directory.

We can exploit that and log only the dir index items, since they contain
all the information needed to correctly add, replace and delete directory
entries when replaying a log tree. Logging only the dir index items is
also backward and forward compatible: an unpatched kernel (without this
change) can correctly replay a log tree generated by a patched kernel
(with this patch), and a patched kernel can correctly replay a log tree
generated by an unpatched kernel.

The backward compatibility is ensured because:

1) For inserting a new dentry: a dentry is only inserted when we find a
   new dir index key - we can only insert if we know the dir index offset,
   which is encoded in the dir index key's offset;

2) For deleting dentries: during log replay, before adding or replacing
   dentries, we first replay dentry deletions. Whenever we find a dir item
   key or a dir index key in the subvolume/fs tree that is not logged in
   a range for which the log tree is authoritative, we do the unlink of
   the dentry, which removes both the existing dir item key and the dir
   index key. Therefore logging just dir index keys is enough to ensure
   dentry deletions are correctly replayed;

3) For dentry replacements: they work when we log only dir index keys
   and this is mostly due to a combination of 1) and 2). If we replace a
   dentry with name "foobar" to point from inode A to inode B, then we
   know the dir index key for the new dentry is different from the old
   one, as it has an index number (key offset) larger than the old one.
   This results in replaying a deletion, through replay_dir_deletes(),
   that causes the old dentry to be removed, both the dir item key and
   the dir index key, as mentioned at 2). Then when processing the new
   dir index key, we add the new dentry, adding both a new dir item key
   and a new index key pointing to inode B, as stated in 1).

The forward compatibility, the ability for a patched kernel to replay a
log created by an older, unpatched kernel, comes from the changes required
for making sure we are able to replay a log that only contains dir index
keys - we simply ignore every dir item key we find.

So modify directory logging to log only dir index items, and modify the
log replay process to ignore dir item keys, from log trees created by an
unpatched kernel, and process only with dir index keys. This reduces the
amount of logged metadata by about half, and therefore the time spent
logging or fsyncing large directories (less CPU time and less IO).

The following test script was used to measure this change:

   #!/bin/bash

   DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
   MNT=/mnt/nvme0n1

   NUM_NEW_FILES=1000000
   NUM_FILE_DELETES=10000

   mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
   mount -o ssd $DEV $MNT

   mkdir $MNT/testdir

   for ((i = 1; i <= $NUM_NEW_FILES; i++)); do
           echo -n > $MNT/testdir/file_$i
   done

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   xfs_io -c "fsync" $MNT/testdir
   end=$(date +%s%N)

   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
   echo "dir fsync took $dur ms after adding $NUM_NEW_FILES files"

   # sync to force transaction commit and wipeout the log.
   sync

   del_inc=$(( $NUM_NEW_FILES / $NUM_FILE_DELETES ))
   for ((i = 1; i <= $NUM_NEW_FILES; i += $del_inc)); do
           rm -f $MNT/testdir/file_$i
   done

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   xfs_io -c "fsync" $MNT/testdir
   end=$(date +%s%N)

   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
   echo "dir fsync took $dur ms after deleting $NUM_FILE_DELETES files"
   echo

   umount $MNT

The tests were run on a physical machine, with a non-debug kernel (Debian's
default kernel config), for different values of $NUM_NEW_FILES and
$NUM_FILE_DELETES, and the results were the following:

** Before patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 1 000 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 10 000 **

dir fsync took 8412 ms after adding 1000000 files
dir fsync took 500 ms after deleting 10000 files

** After patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 1 000 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 10 000 **

dir fsync took 4252 ms after adding 1000000 files   (-49.5%)
dir fsync took 269 ms after deleting 10000 files    (-46.2%)

** Before patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 100 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 1 000 **

dir fsync took 745 ms after adding 100000 files
dir fsync took 59 ms after deleting 1000 files

** After patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 100 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 1 000 **

dir fsync took 404 ms after adding 100000 files   (-45.8%)
dir fsync took 31 ms after deleting 1000 files    (-47.5%)

** Before patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 10 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 1 000 **

dir fsync took 67 ms after adding 10000 files
dir fsync took 9 ms after deleting 1000 files

** After patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 10 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 1 000 **

dir fsync took 36 ms after adding 10000 files   (-46.3%)
dir fsync took 5 ms after deleting 1000 files   (-44.4%)

** Before patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 1 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 100 **

dir fsync took 9 ms after adding 1000 files
dir fsync took 4 ms after deleting 100 files

** After patch, NUM_NEW_FILES = 1 000, NUM_DELETE_FILES = 100 **

dir fsync took 7 ms after adding 1000 files     (-22.2%)
dir fsync took 3 ms after deleting 100 files    (-25.0%)
