[patch dropped from the 3.12 stable tree] Btrfs: return immediately if tree log mod is not necessary

From: Filipe David Borba Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been REMOVED from the 3.12 stable tree as it does not
fulfill the stable tree rules, at least from the text below. If that's
not the case, please let me know.

===============

commit 783577663507411e36e459390ef056556e93ef29 upstream.

In ctree.c:tree_mod_log_set_node_key() we were calling
__tree_mod_log_insert_key() even when the modification doesn't need
to be logged. This would allocate a tree_mod_elem structure, fill it
and pass it to  __tree_mod_log_insert(), which would just acquire
the tree mod log write lock and then free the tree_mod_elem structure
and return (that is, a no-op).

Therefore call tree_mod_log_insert() instead of __tree_mod_log_insert()
which just returns immediately if the modification doesn't need to be
logged (without allocating the structure, fill it, acquire write lock,
free structure).
