[PATCH] squashfs: Customize squashfs metadata cache size

[Yury Khmel]

It provides customization using module params.
In some use-cases reading metadata may take comparable time reading data
itself. Increasing the cache size in such cases helps to eliminate that
bottleneck and increase the overall performance.
