Chris Mason f9efa9c784 Btrfs: Reduce contention on the root node ...

This calls unlock_up sooner in btrfs_search_slot in order to decrease the
amount of work done with the higher level tree locks held.

Also, it changes btrfs_tree_lock to spin for a big against the page lock
before scheduling.  This makes a big difference in context switch rate under
highly contended workloads.

Longer term, a better locking structure is needed than the page lock.
