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%.
