Chris Mason 61b4944018 Btrfs: Fix streaming read performance with checksumming on
Large streaming reads make for large bios, which means each entry on the
list async work queues represents a large amount of data.  IO
congestion throttling on the device was kicking in before the async
worker threads decided a single thread was busy and needed some help.

The end result was that a streaming read would result in a single CPU
running at 100% instead of balancing the work off to other CPUs.

This patch also changes the pre-IO checksum lookup done by reads to
work on a per-bio basis instead of a per-page.  This results in many
extra btree lookups on large streaming reads.  Doing the checksum lookup
right before bio submit allows us to reuse searches while processing
adjacent offsets.
