Subject: [PATCH 3.2 068/110] dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3

3.2.71-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dennis Yang <shinrairis@...il.com>

commit 4c7e309340ff85072e96f529582d159002c36734 upstream.

redistribute3() shares entries out across 3 nodes.  Some entries were
being moved the wrong way, breaking the ordering.  This manifested as a
BUG() in dm-btree-remove.c:shift() when entries were removed from the
btree.
