fsck: drop inode-sorting code
Fsck tries to access loose objects in order of inode number, with the hope that this would make cold cache access faster on a spinning disk. This dates back to 7e8c174 (fsck-cache: sort entries by inode number, 2005-05-02), which predates the invention of packfiles. These days, there's not much point in trying to optimize cold cache for a large number of loose objects. You are much better off to simply pack the objects, which will reduce the disk footprint _and_ provide better locality of data access. So while you can certainly construct pathological cases where this code might help, it is not worth the trouble anymore.
