radix-tree: improve multiorder iterators
This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the
presence of multiorder entries.
1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would
result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if
there were sibling entries.
2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of
a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by
an entry of lower order.
3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to
when multiorder support was compiled in. And I wasn't comfortable with
entry_to_node() being in a header file.
Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries
necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now
need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the
calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which
protects the tree. Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some
people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time
around the loop.
radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder
support was introduced. It only checks to see if the next entry in the
chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare
enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact
(and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just
processed was a multiorder entry). Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to
force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive
than the out of line sibling entry skipping.
