I'm surprised you didn't rename the diff.*ptr functions too -- there's
no inherent meaning in the difference between two pointers, but it is
useful to compare them. Renaming would make the sole callsite much
clearer in purpose:

if (xfs_btree_cmp_two_ptrs(cur, pp, sibling) != 0)
xchk_btree_set_corrupt(bs->sc, cur, level);

Other than that, the logic changes look correct to me.
