This improves the bkey_format calculation when splitting btree nodes. Previously, we'd use a format calculated for the original node for the lower of the two new nodes. This was particularly bad on sequential insertions, where we iteratively split the last btree node, whos format has to include KEY_MAX. Now, we calculate formats precisely for the keys the two new nodes will contain. This also should make splitting a bit more efficient, since we're only copying keys once (from the original node to the new node, instead of new node, replacement node, then upper split).

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.
