[PATCH 8/9] readahead: convert ext3/ext4 invocations

[Fengguang Wu]

Convert ext3/ext4 dir reads to use on-demand readahead.

Readahead for dirs operates _not_ on file level, but on blockdev level.
This makes a difference when the data blocks are not continuous.
And the read routine is somehow opaque: there's no handy info about the status
of current page. So a simplified call scheme is employed: to call into
readahead whenever the current page falls out of readahead windows.
