file->f_ra->ra_pages will remain the initialized value since it opend, which may
be NOT equal to bdi->ra_pages as the latter one is updated somehow(etc,
echo xxx > /sys/block/dm/queue/read_ahead_kb).So having readahead use
bdi->ra_pages.

But now it ignores the work done by shrink_readahead_size_eio()
and fadvise(POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL).  And you missed the use of ra_size
on the previous line, miscalculating ra->start.
