David Sterba a929904cf7 btrfs: add unlikely annotations to branches leading to transaction abort
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.
