jdolecek 9b785b5267 adjust heuristics for read-ahead to skip the full read-ahead when last page of
the range is already cached; this speeds up I/O from cache, since it avoids
the lookup and allocation overhead

on my system I observed 4.5% - 15% improvement for cached I/O - from 2.2 GB/s to
2.3 GB/s for cached reads using non-direct UBC, and from 5.6 GB/s to 6.5 GB/s
for UBC using direct map
