Yes, because level == 0 is the root node for xfs dir/attr btree cursors
(which is confusing since level == 0 are leaf nodes for the regular xfs
btree cursors).  Therefore if level == 0 we're at the root and there are
no parent hash values to check.

That said, you're absolutely right that we don't need the intermediate
variable in either function.
