[PATCH v6 05/16] mm: Put readahead pages in cache earlier

[Matthew Wilcox]

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy at infradead.org>

At allocation time, put the pages in the cache unless we're using
->readpages.  Add the readahead_for_each() iterator for the benefit of
the ->readpage fallback.  This iterator supports huge pages, even though
none of the filesystems to be converted do yet.
