Jens Axboe 74c8164e1c mpage: mpage_readpages() should submit IO as read-ahead
a_ops->readpages() is only ever used for read-ahead, yet we don't flag
the IO being submitted as such.  Fix that up.  Any file system that uses
mpage_readpages() as its ->readpages() implementation will now get this
right.

Since we're passing in whether the IO is read-ahead or not, we don't
need to pass in the 'gfp' separately, as it is dependent on the IO being
read-ahead.  Kill off that member.

Add some documentation notes on ->readpages() being purely for
read-ahead.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
