PATCH 1/1 Btrfs: remove some no-op casts

We cast 0 to a u8 but then because of type promotion, it's immediately cast to int back to int before we do a bitwise negate. The cast doesn't matter in this case, the code works as intended. It causes a static checker warning though so let's remove it.

Applies to the free space tree fixes that are now in master.
