Subject: [PATCH 2/2] libext2fs: optimize rb_test_bit

Optimize testing for a bit in an rbtree-based bitmap for the case
where the calling application is scanning through the bitmap
sequentially.  Previously, we did this for a set of bits which were
inside an allocated extent, but we did not optimize the case where
there was a large number of bits after an allocated extents which were
not in use.

             ^ optimized    ^not optimized

In my tests of a roughly half-filled file system, the run time of
e2freefrag was halved, and the cpu time spent in userspace was during
e2fsck's pass 5 was reduced by a factor of 30%.
