xfs: reduce debug overhead of dir leaf/node checks

On debug kernels, we call xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int() multiple times
on every directory modification. The robust hash ordering checks it
does on every entry in the leaf on every call results in a massive
CPU overhead which slows down debug kernels by a large amount.

We use xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int() for the verifiers as well, so we
can't just gut the function to reduce overhead. What we can do,
however, is reduce the work it does when it is called from the
debug interfaces, just leaving the high level checks in place and
leaving the robust validation to the verifiers. This means the debug
checks will catch gross errors, but subtle bugs might not be caught
until a verifier is run.

It is easy enough to restore the existing debug behaviour if the
developer needs it (just change a call parameter in the debug code),
but overwise the overhead makes testing large directory block sizes
on debug kernels very slow.

Profile at an unlink rate of ~80k file/s on a 64k block size
filesystem before the patch:

  40.30%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir3_leaf_check_int
  10.98%  [kernel]  [k] __xfs_dir3_data_check
   8.10%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_verify_dir_ino
   4.42%  [kernel]  [k] memcpy
   2.22%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir2_data_get_ftype
   1.52%  [kernel]  [k] do_raw_spin_lock

Profile after, at an unlink rate of ~125k files/s (+50% improvement)
has largely dropped the leaf verification debug overhead out of the
profile.

  16.53%  [kernel]  [k] __xfs_dir3_data_check
  12.53%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_verify_dir_ino
   7.97%  [kernel]  [k] memcpy
   3.36%  [kernel]  [k] xfs_dir2_data_get_ftype
   2.86%  [kernel]  [k] __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath

Create shows a similar change in profile and a +25% improvement in
performance.
