This function wraps the optimisation implemented by d7396f0735
("Btrfs: optimize key searches in btrfs_search_slot") however this
optimisation is really used in only one place - btrfs_search_slot.
Just open code the optimisation and also add a comment explaining how it
works since it's not clear just by looking at the code - the key point
here is it depends on an internal invariant that BTRFS' btree provides,
namely intermediate pointers always contain the key at slot0 at the
child node. So in the case of exact match we can safely assume that the
given key will always be in slot 0 on lower levels.
Furthermore this results in a reduction of btrfs_search_slot's size:
./scripts/bloat-o-meter ctree.orig fs/btrfs/ctree.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-75 (-75)
Function old new delta
btrfs_search_slot 2783 2708 -75
Total: Before=50423, After=50348, chg -0.15%

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
