When checking siblings keys, before moving keys from one node/leaf to a sibling node/leaf, it's very unexpected to have the last key of the left sibling greater than or equals to the first key of the right sibling, as that means we have a (serious) corruption that breaks the key ordering properties of a b+tree. Since this is unexpected, surround the comparison with the unlikely macro, which helps the compiler generate better code for the most expected case (no existing b+tree corruption). This is also what we do for other unexpected cases of invalid key ordering (like at btrfs_set_item_key_safe()).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
