Currently all reads of the fsverity hashes are kicked off from the data
I/O completion handler, leading to needlessly dependent I/O. This is
worked around a bit by performing readahead on the level 0 nodes, but
still fairly ineffective.
Switch to a model where the ->read_folio and ->readahead methods instead
kick off explicit readahead of the fsverity hashed so they are usually
available at I/O completion time.
For 64k sequential reads on my test VM this improves read performance
from 2.4GB/s - 2.6GB/s to 3.5GB/s - 3.9GB/s. The improvements for
random reads are likely to be even bigger.
