Extents are cached in read_extent_tree_block(); as a result, extents
are not cached for inodes with depth == 0 when we try to find the
extent using ext4_find_extent(). The result of the lookup is cached
in ext4_map_blocks() but is only a subset of the extent on disk. As a
result, the contents of extents status cache can get very badly
fragmented for certain workloads, such as a random 4k read workload.

Fix this by caching the extents for inodes with depth == 0 in
ext4_find_extent().
[ Renamed ext4_es_cache_extents() to ext4_cache_extents() since this
newly added function is not in extents_cache.c, and to avoid
potential visual confusion with ext4_es_cache_extent(). -TYT ]
