[PATCH v2] erofs-utils: use qsort() to sort dir->i_subdirs

[Li GuiFu]

Hu Weiwen
  It really do a high sort performance increase,
  I have a idea that keeping the erofs_prepare_dir_file() function
paramter stable, Using a independent function to do dirs sort.

Todo 1: keep these function parameter stable

Todo 2: make these codes refact to a independent function

Todo 3 : nr_subdirs may not be needed, it can be get from one
for-loop-count fixly.
If it may cause perfermance decrease, try to add a dir count in the
erofs_inode struct
