The current code relogs the entire inode every time during fsync log,

During my performance test, the fsync performace of large files sucks,
and we can ascribe this to the tremendous amount of csum infos of the
large ones, cause we have to flush all of these csum infos into log trees
even when there are only _one_ change in the whole file data. Apparently,
to optimize fsync, we need to create a filter to skip the unnecessary csum
ones, that is, the corresponding file data remains unchanged before this fsync.
Here I have some test results to show, I use sysbench to do "random write + fsync".
===
sysbench --test=fileio --num-threads=1 --file-num=2 --file-block-size=4K --file-total-size=8G --file-test-mode=rndwr --file-io-mode=sync --file-extra-flags= [prepare, run]
===
Sysbench args:
- Number of threads: 1
- Extra file open flags: 0
- 2 files, 4Gb each
- Block size 4Kb
- Number of random requests for random IO: 10000
- Read/Write ratio for combined random IO test: 1.50
- Periodic FSYNC enabled, calling fsync() each 100 requests.
- Calling fsync() at the end of test, Enabled.
- Using synchronous I/O mode
- Doing random write test
Sysbench results:
===
Operations performed: 0 Read, 10000 Write, 200 Other = 10200 Total
Read 0b Written 39.062Mb Total transferred 39.062Mb
===
a) without patch: (*SPEED* : 451.01Kb/sec)
112.75 Requests/sec executed
b) with patch: (*SPEED* : 4.7533Mb/sec)
1216.84 Requests/sec executed
PS: I've made a _sub transid_ stuff patch, but it does not perform as effectively as this patch,
and I'm wanderring where the problem is and trying to improve it more.
