Patch Review

The four btrfs changes are straightforward and correct, except:

**Issue - Silent `unlikely()` removal in transaction.c:**
```c
-	if (unlikely(dir_item != NULL && !IS_ERR(dir_item))) {
+	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(dir_item)) {
```
The `unlikely()` hint is dropped without mention. This path handles name collision during snapshot creation (an error condition), and the `unlikely()` was intentional. Either preserve the hint (though checkpatch would complain) or at least note the change in the commit message.
