Subject: [PATCH 08/10] ext4: replace sb_breadahead() with ext4_sb_breadahead()
For the cases of read ahead blocks, we also need to check the write io
error flag to prevent reading block from disk if it is actually
uptodate. Add a new wrapper ext4_sb_breadahead() to check the uptodate
flag and prevent unnecessary read operation, and replace all
sb_breadahead().
