xfs: bmapbt checking on debug kernels too expensive

For large sparse or fragmented files, checking every single entry in
the bmapbt on every operation is prohibitively expensive. Especially
as such checks rarely discover problems during normal operations on
high extent coutn files. Our regression tests don't tend to exercise
files with hundreds of thousands to millions of extents, so mostly
this isn't noticed.

However, trying to run things like xfs_mdrestore of large filesystem
dumps on a debug kernel quickly becomes impossible as the CPU is
completely burnt up repeatedly walking the sparse file bmapbt that
is generated for every allocation that is made.

Hence, if the file has more than 10,000 extents, just don't bother
with walking the tree to check it exhaustively. The btree code has
checks that ensure that the newly inserted/removed/modified record
is correctly ordered, so the entrie tree walk in thses cases has
limited additional value.
