So I just send a v2 patch to only change to macro in fill_node_footer_blkaddr and
allocate_segment_by_default, these two functions are called frequently, so it is
better to use macro code. And I remain the original checking code in is_recoverable_dnode,
this function is called only once after mount, it's OK.
