Subject: [PATCH] btree: Fix the bug to release whole btree nodes

I use the btree which pickes up the latest version of kernel source
3.14-rc2 in my own module. When the btree module is removed, a warning arised:

kmem_cache_destroy btree_node: Slab cache still has objects
CPU: 13 PID: 9150 Comm: rmmod Tainted: GF          O 3.14.0-rc2 #1
Hardware name: Inspur NF5270M3/NF5270M3, BIOS CHEETAH_2.1.3 09/10/2013

[<ffffffff815b3652>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

The cause is that it doesn't release the last btree node,
when height = 1 and fill = 1.
