When the binary search returns 0 (exact match), the target key
will necessarily be at slot 0 of all nodes below the current one,
so in this case the binary search is not needed because it will
always return 0, and we waste time doing it, holding node locks
for longer than necessary, etc.

Below follow histograms with the times spent on the current approach of
doing a binary search when the previous binary search returned 0, and
times for the new approach, which directly picks the first item/child
node in the leaf/node.

Current approach:

Count: 6682
Range: 35.000 - 8370.000; Mean: 85.837; Median: 75.000; Stddev: 106.429
Percentiles:  90th: 124.000; 95th: 145.000; 99th: 206.000

Approach proposed by this patch:

  74.136 -  100.087:     9 |
 100.087 -  135.000:     6 |

These samples were captured during a run of the btrfs tests 001, 002 and
004 in the xfstests, with a leaf/node size of 4Kb.

V2: Simplified code, removed unnecessary code.
V3: Replaced BUG_ON() with the new ASSERT() from Josef.
V4: Addressed latest comments from Zach Brown and Josef Bacik.
    Surrounded all code that is used for the assertion with a
    #ifdef CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT ... #endif block. Also changed
    offset arguments to be more strictly correct.
V5: Updated histograms to reflect latest version of the code.

I think it is better to move #ifdef out of key_search_validate(),
and make the function return the check result, then

ASSERT(key_search_validate(b, key, level));

it can make the compiler happen when CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT is not set.
