Subject: fat: optimize fat_count_free_clusters()
From: OGAWA Hirofumi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
On large partition, scanning the free clusters is very slow if users
doesn't use "usefree" option.
For optimizing it, this patch uses sb_breadahead() to read of FAT
sectors. On some user's 15GB partition, this patch improved it very
much (1min => 600ms).
The following is the result of 2GB partition on my machine.
