OGAWA Hirofumi 898310032b fat: improve the readahead for FAT entries
Current readahead for FAT entries is very simple but is having some flaws,
so it is not working well for some environments.  This patch improves the
readahead more or less.

The key points of modification are,

  - make the readahead size tunable by using bdi->ra_pages
  - care the bdi->io_pages to avoid the small size I/O request
  - update readahead window before fully exhausting

With this patch, on slow USB connected 2TB hdd:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
