The key offset of the last dir index item that was logged is stored in
the inode's last_dir_index_offset field. However that field is not
persisted in the inode item or elsewhere, so if the inode gets evicted
and reloaded, it gets a value of (u64)-1, so that when we are logging
dir index items we check if they were logged before, to avoid attempts
to insert duplicated keys and fallback to a transaction commit.

Improve on this by searching for the last dir index that was logged when
we start logging a directory if the inode's last_dir_index_offset is not
set (has a value of (u64)-1) and it was logged before. This avoids
checking if each dir index item we find was already logged before, and
simplifies the logging of dir index items (process_dir_items_leaf()).

This will also be needed for an incoming change where we start logging
delayed items directly, without flushing them first.
