fat: optimize fat_count_free_clusters()

On large partition, scanning the free clusters is very slow if users
doesn't use "usefree" option.

For optimizing it, this patch uses sb_breadahead() to read of FAT
sectors. On some user's 15GB partition, this patch improved it very
much (1min => 600ms).

The following is the result of 2GB partition on my machine.

without patch:
root@devron (/)# time df -h > /dev/null

real    0m1.202s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.440s

with patch:
root@devron (/)# time df -h > /dev/null

real    0m0.378s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m0.168s
