[PATCH 7/7] nilfs2: improve execution time of NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO ioctl

[Ryusuke Konishi]

The older a filesystem gets, the slower lscp command becomes.  This is
because nilfs_cpfile_do_get_cpinfo() function meets more hole blocks
as the start offset of valid checkpoint numbers gets bigger.

This reduces the overhead by skipping hole blocks efficiently with
nilfs_mdt_find_block() helper.

A measurement result of this patch is as follows:

Before:
$ time lscp
                 CNO        DATE     TIME  MODE  FLG      BLKCNT       ICNT
             5769303  2015-02-22 19:31:33   cp    -          108          1
             5769304  2015-02-22 19:38:54   cp    -          108          1

real    0m0.182s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.180s

After:
$ time lscp
                 CNO        DATE     TIME  MODE  FLG      BLKCNT       ICNT
             5769303  2015-02-22 19:31:33   cp    -          108          1
             5769304  2015-02-22 19:38:54   cp    -          108          1

real    0m0.003s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.002s
