Implement readahead callback for squashfs. It will read datablocks
which cover pages in readahead request. For a few cases it will
not mark page as uptodate, including:
- file end is 0.
- zero filled blocks.
- current batch of pages isn't in the same datablock.
- decompressor error.
Otherwise pages will be marked as uptodate. The unhandled pages will be
updated by readpage later.

v5->v6:
- use the new squashfs_page_actor_init_special() to handle short file
   cases as well.

Hi Hsin-Yi,

Thanks for adding the improved page actor support to your patch.

There is currently another problem with the patch, which is it
doesn't handle fragments.

Normally a file (using Mksquashfs defaults) will consist of either:

1. A fragment, stored inside a fragment block, if the file is less
   than the block size, OR

2. One or more datablocks, if the file is greater than the block size.

Your readahead patch handles datablocks, and ignores any file less than
block size by the lines

> +	if (file_end == 0)
> +		return;

So in theory the readahead function doesn't have to handle fragments
stored in fragment blocks.

But you can tell Mksquashfs to pack the file tailend into a fragment
block, using the -tailends (or -always-use-fragments) option.

Here, you will get a file which has one or more datablocks, and the last
datablock will be stored in a fragment block.

The readahead code has to handle this, and it is easy to show the code
doesn't by building a filesystem with that option.

I have written a function which can be called to do the work. This I have posted here as a patch.

Obviously, now that fragment blocks are supported, readahead can be
supported for files less than the block size too.

The diff to update the readahead code to use the new function is
