    Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk
    
    [XFS] Long btree pointers are still 64 bit on disk
    
    On 32 bit machines with CONFIG_LBD=n, XFS reduces the
    in memory size of xfs_fsblock_t to 32 bits so that it
    will fit within 32 bit addressing. However, the disk format
    for long btree pointers are still 64 bits in size.
    
    The recent btree rewrite failed to take this into account
    when initialising new btree blocks, setting sibling pointers
    to NULL and checking if they are NULL. Hence checking whether
    a 64 bit NULL was the same as a 32 bit NULL was failingi
    resulting in NULL sibling pointers failing to be detected
    correctly. This showed up as WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO shutdowns
    in xfs_btree_delrec.
    
    Fix this by making all the comparisons and setting of long
    pointer btree NULL blocks to the disk format, not the
    in memory format. i.e. use NULLDFSBNO.
