This patch adds to e2fsck the ability to pre-fetch metadata into the
page cache in the hopes of speeding up fsck runs.  There are two new
functions -- the first allows a caller to readahead a list of blocks,
and the second is a helper function that uses that first mechanism to
load group data (bitmaps, inode tables).

These new e2fsck routines require the addition of a dblist API to
allow us to iterate a subset of a dblist.  This will enable
incremental directory block readahead in e2fsck pass 2.

There's also a function to estimate the readahead given a FS.
