Linus Torvalds c8994374d9 fsverity updates for 5.6
- Optimize fs-verity sequential read performance by implementing
   readahead of Merkle tree pages.  This allows the Merkle tree to be
   read in larger chunks.
 
 - Optimize FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY performance in the uncached case by
   implementing readahead of data pages.
 
 - Allocate the hash requests from a mempool in order to eliminate the
   possibility of allocation failures during I/O.
