From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>

This patch series significantly improves exFAT read performance
by adding multi-cluster mapping support.
The changes reduce get_block calls during sequential reads,
particularly benefiting small cluster sizes.

- Extends exfat_get_cluster() and exfat_map_cluster() to handle multiple contiguous clusters
- Adds buffer head caching for FAT table reads

Performance results show ~10% improvement for 512-byte clusters (454->511 MB/s)
and reduced get_block overhead from 10.8% to 0.02% for NO_FAT_CHAIN files.

All criticism and suggestions are welcome :)


Changes:
- Cache the last dis-continuous cluster
- Continue collect clusters after cache hit
- Some cleanup.
