The unlikely() annotation is a static prediction hint that compiler may use to reorder code out of hot path. We use it elsewhere (namely tree-checker.c) for error branches that almost never happen. Transaction abort is one such error, the btrfs_abort_transaction() inlines code to check the state and print a warning, this ought to be out of the hot path. The most common pattern is when transaction abort is called after checking a return value and the control flow leads to a quick return. In other cases it may not be necessary to add unlikely() e.g. when the function returns anyway or the control flow is not changed noticeably.
