Inode cache is similar to free space cache and in fact shares the same
code, however, we don't load inode cache unless we're about to allocate
inode id, then there is a case where we only commit the transaction during
other operations, such as snapshot creation, we now update fs roots' generation
to the new transaction id, after that when we want to load the inode cache,
we'll find that it's not valid thanks to the mismatch of generation, and we
have to push btrfs-ino-cache thread to build inode cache from disk, and
this operation is sometimes time-costing.

So to fix the above, we load inode cache into memory during reading fs root.

Thanks Liu.  Have you tested this with orphan replay?  I'd like to make
sure the new ordering of starting caching isn't causing problems with
finding and processing the orphan items.
