btrfs: tree-checker: Fix false panic for sanity test



[BUG]
If we run btrfs with CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS=y, it will
instantly cause kernel panic like:

------
...
assertion failed: 0, file: fs/btrfs/disk-io.c, line: 3853
...
Call Trace:
 btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty+0x187/0x1f0 [btrfs]
 setup_items_for_insert+0x385/0x650 [btrfs]
 __btrfs_drop_extents+0x129a/0x1870 [btrfs]
...
-----

[Cause]
Btrfs will call btrfs_check_leaf() in btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty() to check
if the leaf is valid with CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS=y.

However quite some btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty() callers(*) don't really
initialize its item data but only initialize its item pointers, leaving
item data uninitialized.

This makes tree-checker catch uninitialized data as error, causing
such panic.

*: These callers include but not limited to
setup_items_for_insert()
btrfs_split_item()
btrfs_expand_item()

[Fix]
Add a new parameter @check_item_data to btrfs_check_leaf().
With @check_item_data set to false, item data check will be skipped and
fallback to old btrfs_check_leaf() behavior.

So we can still get early warning if we screw up item pointers, and
avoid false panic.
