Errors are unexpected during the transaction commit path, and when they
happen we abort the transaction (by calling cleanup_transaction() under
the label 'cleanup_transaction' in btrfs_commit_transaction()). So mark
every error check in the transaction commit path as unlikely, to hint the
compiler so that it can possibly generate better code, and make it clear
for a reader about being unexpected.

On a x86_84 box using gcc 14.2.0-19 from Debian, this resulted in a slight
reduction of the module's text size.

Before:

  $ size fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  1939476  172568   15592 2127636  207714 fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko

After:

  $ size fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  1939044  172568   15592 2127204  207564 fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
