What's the change here? I don't think we need to fix whitespace, this makes
searching in patch history more tedious, namely in case where the code looks
exactly the same before and after the patch.

The style issues should be best fixed when the patch is about to be
merged, doing it later like this is kind of not welcome, speaking for
myself. There are lots of opportunities to do real code cleanups.

Whitespace changes are just noise, we don't need them at this point of
development phase of btrfs.
