btrfs: prefetch chunk tree leaves at mount



The whole chunk tree is read at mount time so we can utilize readahead
to get the tree blocks to memory before we read the items. The idea is
from Robbie, but instead of updating search slot readahead, this patch
implements the chunk tree readahead manually from nodes on level 1.

We've decided to do specific readahead optimizations and then unify them
under a common API so we don't break everything by changing the search
slot readahead logic.

Higher chunk trees grow on large filesystems (many terabytes), and
prefetching just level 1 seems to be sufficient. Provided example was
from a 200TiB filesystem with chunk tree level 2.
