disk_map_sector_rcu() returns a partition from a sector offset, which we use for IO statistics on a per-partition basis. The lookup itself is an O(N) list lookup, where N is the number of partitions. This actually hurts performance quite a bit, even on the lower end partitions. On higher numbered partitions, it can get pretty bad. Solve this by adding a one-hit cache for partition lookup. This makes the lookup O(1) for the case where we do most IO to one partition. Even for mixed partition workloads, amortized cost is pretty close to O(1) since the natural IO batching makes the one-hit cache last for lots of IOs.
