reading, in dir-item.c, the code in
struct btrfs_dir_item *btrfs_match_dir_item_name (...)
I am a little surprised to see an O(n) iterative name comparison check
instead of something that would
efficiently support directories with lots of items in them. Is this
function a fall-back if a O(1) table lookup
somewhere else misses, perhaps?
