readahead: convert ext3/ext4 invocations

Convert ext3/ext4 dir reads to use on-demand readahead.

Readahead for dirs operates _not_ on file level, but on blockdev level.  This
makes a difference when the data blocks are not continuous.  And the read
routine is somehow opaque: there's no handy info about the status of current
page.  So a simplified call scheme is employed: to call into readahead
whenever the current page falls out of readahead windows.
