When we recover from crash via write-ahead log tree and process
the inode refs, for each btrfs_inode_ref item, we will
1) check if we already have a perfect match in fs/file tree, if
   we have, then we're done.
2) search the corresponding back reference in fs/file tree, and
   check all the names in this back reference to see if they are
   also in the log to avoid conflict corners.
3) recover the logged inode refs to fs/file tree.

In current btrfs, however,
- for 2)'s check, once is enough, since the checked back reference
  will remain unchanged after processing all the inode refs belonged
  to the key.
- it has no need to do another 1) between 2) and 3).

I've made a small test to show how it improves,

$dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar bs=4K count=1
$sync
$make 100 hard links continuously, like ln foobar link_i
$fsync foobar
$echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
after reboot
$time mount DEV PATH
