This patch reduces the CPU time spent in the extent buffer search by using the
radix tree instead of the rbtree and using the rcu lock instead of the spin
lock.

I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found the patch improve the
file creation/deletion performance problem that I have reported[2].
