Subject: [PATCH] ext4: make xattr inode reads faster
ext4_xattr_inode_read() currently reads each block sequentially while
waiting for io operation to complete before moving on to the next
block. This prevents request merging in block layer.
Fix this by starting reads for all blocks then wait for completions.
