Btrfs: add readahead for send_write
Btrfs send reads data from disk and then writes to a stream via pipe or
a file via flush.
Currently we're going to read each page a time, so every page results
in a disk read, which is not friendly to disks, esp. HDD. Given that,
the performance can be gained by adding readahead for those pages.
Here is a quick test:
$ btrfs subvolume create send
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 1G" send/foobar
$ btrfs subvolume snap -r send ro
$ time "btrfs send ro -f /dev/null"
