[PATCH v2] btree: simplify merge logic by using btree_last() return value

[Guan-Chun Wu]

Previously btree_merge() called btree_last() only to test existence,
then performed an extra btree_lookup() to fetch the value. This patch
changes it to directly use the value returned by btree_last(), avoiding
redundant lookups and simplifying the merge loop.

v2:
 - Update subject to clarify this is a simplification, not a bug fix
