This patch sets the io_pages bdi hint based on the rsize mount option.
Without this patch large buffered reads (request size > max readahead)
are processed sequentially in chunks of the readahead size (i.e. read
requests are sent out up to the readahead size, then the
do_generic_file_read() function waits until the first page is received).

This patch removes this cap and enables parallel reads up to the
specified maximum read size mount option (rsize).

Feedback is appreciated. Maybe we should apply a sensible default value
for rsize instead of unlimited?

Please note: This patch depends on commit #9491ae4, which is not yet
merged in the testing branch of the ceph-client repository (this commit
is included in kernel version 4.10-rc1).

unlimited by default does not seem like a good idea. I think we should set CEPH_RSIZE_DEFAULT to reasonable value (such as 64M)
