mm: add readahead address space operation

This replaces ->readpages with a saner interface:
 - Return void instead of an ignored error code.
 - Page cache is already populated with locked pages when ->readahead
   is called.
 - New arguments can be passed to the implementation without changing
   all the filesystems that use a common helper function like
   mpage_readahead().

If defined, it should set the PageDirty flag, and the

``readahead``
Called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
object. The pages are consecutive in the page cache and are
locked. The implementation should decrement the page refcount
after starting I/O on each page. Usually the page will be
unlocked by the I/O completion handler. If the filesystem decides
to stop attempting I/O before reaching the end of the readahead
window, it can simply return. The caller will decrement the page
refcount and unlock the remaining pages for you. Set PageUptodate
if the I/O completes successfully. Setting PageError on any page
will be ignored; simply unlock the page if an I/O error occurs.
``readpages``
called by the VM to read pages associated with the address_space
object. This is essentially just a vector version of readpage.
Instead of just one page, several pages are requested.
readpages is only used for read-ahead, so read errors are
ignored. If anything goes wrong, feel free to give up.
This interface is deprecated and will be removed by the end of
2020; implement readahead instead.
``write_begin``
