mm: put readahead pages in cache earlier
When populating the page cache for readahead, mappings that use
->readpages must populate the page cache themselves as the pages are
passed on a linked list which would normally be used for the page
cache's LRU. For mappings that use ->readpage or the upcoming
->readahead method, we can put the pages into the page cache as soon as
they're allocated, which solves a race between readahead and direct IO.
It also lets us remove the gfp argument from read_pages().
Use the new readahead_page() API to implement the repeated calls to
->readpage(), just like most filesystems will.
