[PATCH v2] cachefiles: make on-demand request distribution fairer

[Xin Yin <yinxin.x@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For now, enqueuing and dequeuing on-demand requests all start from
idx 0, this makes request distribution unfair. In the weighty
concurrent I/O scenario, the request stored in higher idx will starve.

Searching requests cyclically in cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read,
makes distribution fairer.
