[PATCH] readahead: Update the file_ra_state.ra_pages with each readahead operation

[Youling Tang]

From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changing the read_ahead_kb value midway through a sequential read of a
large file found that the ra->ra_pages value remained unchanged (new
ra_pages can only be detected the next time the file is opened). Because
file_ra_state_init() is only called once in do_dentry_open() in most
cases.

In ondemand_readahead(), update bdi->ra_pages to ra->ra_pages to ensure
that the maximum pages that can be allocated by the readahead algorithm
are the same as (read_ahead_kb * 1024) / PAGE_SIZE after read_ahead_kb
is modified.
