[sheepdog] [PATCH v3 0/3] let sd_inode_set_vid() to support range update

[Robin Dong]

From: Robin Dong <sanbai at taobao.com>

After testing in large data environment, we find out that the performance of
sheepdog will reduce raplidly when data is bigger than 2TB.
The reason is in sd_inode_set_vid(), it only set one 'vid' at one time, and
need to read ext-node out, set vid, then write ext-node back, which need read
and write 4MB data.
To promote the performance, we let sd_inode_set_vid() to set range of vids one
time and introduce cache for B-tree code, therefore it only need read and write
4MB data at once after set many vids.
