[PATCH] squashfs: avoid to allocate page actor when to read into the page cache

[Yue Hu]

From: Yue Hu <huyue2@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, we will allocate page actor in squashfs_readpage_block() via
kmalloc() if enable SQUASHFS_FILE_DIRECT option. However, the actor size
is small and it will be freed finally in this function. So just use stack
memory to avoid out of memory. Also save this space for system use.
