btrfs: add tracepoint for search slot restart tracking
Add a btrfs_search_slot_restart tracepoint that fires at each restart
site in btrfs_search_slot(), recording the root, tree level, and
reason for the restart. This enables tracking search slot restarts
which contribute to COW amplification under memory pressure.
The four restart reasons are:
- write_lock: insufficient write lock level, need to restart with
higher lock
- setup_nodes: node setup returned -EAGAIN
- slot_zero: insertion at slot 0 requires higher write lock level
- read_block: read_block_for_search returned -EAGAIN (block not
cached or lock contention)
COW counts are already tracked by the existing trace_btrfs_cow_block()
tracepoint. The per-restart-site tracepoint avoids counter overhead
in the critical path when tracepoints are disabled, and provides
richer per-event information that bpftrace scripts can aggregate into
counts, histograms, and per-root breakdowns.
