LU-9749 llite: Reduce overhead for ll_do_fast_read


In ll_do_fast_read, looking up a cl_env adds some overhead,
and can also cause spinlock contention on older kernels.

Fast read can safely use the preallocated percpu cl_env, so
do that to reduce overhead.

SLES numbers on recent Xeon, CentOS numbers on VMs on
older hardware.  SLES has queued spinlocks and scales
perfectly with multiple threads, with or without this
patch.  CentOS scales poorly at small I/O sizes without
this patch.

SLES is SLES12SP2, CentOS is CentOS 7.3.

SLES:
1 thread
         8b   1K   1M
Without: 23   2200 6800
With:    27.5 2500 7200

4 threads
         8b   1K    1M
Without: 90   8700  27000
With:    108  10000 28000

Earlier kernel (CentOS 7.3):
