GFS2: speed up delete/unlink performance for large files
This patch improves the performance of delete/unlink operations in a GFS2 file system where the files are large by adding a layer of metadata read-ahead for indirect blocks. Mileage will vary, but on my system, deleting an 8.6G file dropped from 22 seconds to about 4.5 seconds.
