In order to enhance performance, we try to readahead node page during
GC, but before loading node page we should get block address of node page
which is stored in NAT table, so synchronously read of single NAT page
block our readahead flow.

f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (251,0), ino = 2, page_index = 0xa1e, oldaddr = 0xa1e, newaddr = 0xa1e, rw = READ_SYNC(MP), type = META
f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (251,0), ino = 1, page_index = 0x35e9, oldaddr = 0x72d7a, newaddr = 0x72d7a, rw = READAHEAD ^H, type = NODE
f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (251,0), ino = 2, page_index = 0xc1f, oldaddr = 0xc1f, newaddr = 0xc1f, rw = READ_SYNC(MP), type = META
f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (251,0), ino = 1, page_index = 0x389d, oldaddr = 0x72d7d, newaddr = 0x72d7d, rw = READAHEAD ^H, type = NODE
f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (251,0), ino = 1, page_index = 0x3a82, oldaddr = 0x72d7f, newaddr = 0x72d7f, rw = READAHEAD ^H, type = NODE
f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (251,0), ino = 1, page_index = 0x3bfa, oldaddr = 0x72d86, newaddr = 0x72d86, rw = READAHEAD ^H, type = NODE

This patch adds one phase that do readahead NAT pages in batch before
readahead node page for more effeciently.
