ext4: Use readahead when reading an inode from the inode table
With modern hard drives, reading 64k takes roughly the same time as reading a 4k block. So request readahead for adjacent inode table blocks to reduce the time it takes when iterating over directories (especially when doing this in htree sort order) in a cold cache case. With this patch, the time it takes to run "git status" on a kernel tree after flushing the caches via "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" is reduced by 21%.
