Unfortunately, the comparison functions for both data and non-data nodes
('data_nodes_cmp()' and 'nondata_nodes_cmp()') was screwed. It did not
work for the case when 'inuma == inumb' and 'blka > blkb' or 'hasha > hashb'.
Basically, this means that it did not actually sort the list. This is not
fatal, but this means that GC did not optimize the on-flash layout as we
thought it would.
This issue was revealed by commit '835cc0c8477fdbc59e0217891d6f11061b1ac4e2' of
Don Mullis: assertions in the comparison functions started triggering.
This patch fixes the issue. Additionally, it makes the comparison functions
return immediately the elements to compare are actually the same element.
This is just a tiny optimization.
