From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>

When multiple entries are obtained consecutively, these entries are mostly
stored adjacent to each other. this patch introduces a "last" parameter to
cache the last opened buffer head, and reuse it when possible, which
reduces the number of sb_bread() calls.

When the passed parameter "last" is NULL, it means cache option is
disabled, the behavior unchanged as it was.
