Nick Piggin e1bb578263 fs: prefetch inode data in dcache lookup 
This makes single threaded git diff -1.25% +/- 0.05% elapsed time on my
2s12c24t Westmere system, and -0.86% +/- 0.05% on my 2s8c Barcelona, by
prefetching the important first cacheline of the inode in while we do the
actual name compare and other operations on the dentry.

There was no measurable slowdown in the single file stat case, or the creat
case (where negative dentries would be common).
