    Btrfs: Only prep for btree deletion balances when nodes are mostly empty · 7b78c170

    Whenever an item deletion is done, we need to balance all the nodes
    in the tree to make sure we don't end up with an empty node if a pointer
    is deleted.  This balance prep happens from the root of the tree down
    so we can drop our locks as we go.
    
    reada_for_balance was triggering read-ahead on neighboring nodes even
    when no balancing was required.  This adds an extra check to avoid
    calling balance_level() and avoid reada_for_balance() when a balance
    won't be required.
