md/r5cache: improve recovery with read ahead page pool
In r5cache recovery, the journal device is scanned page by page.
Currently, we use sync_page_io() to read journal device. This is
not efficient when we have to recovery many stripes from the journal.
To improve the speed of recovery, this patch introduces a read ahead
page pool (ra_pool) to recovery_ctx. With ra_pool, multiple consecutive
pages are read in one IO. Then the recovery code read the journal from
ra_pool.
With ra_pool, r5l_recovery_ctx has become much bigger. Therefore,
r5l_recovery_log() is refactored so r5l_recovery_ctx is not using
stack space.
