Phillip Susi afc9c3a076 readahead.2: Don't claim the call blocks until all data has been read
The readahead(2) man page was claiming that the call blocks until
all data has been read into the cache.  This is incorrect.

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54271

Corrado Zoccolo noted:
        it simply calls force_page_cache_readahead (the same called
        by fadvise/madvise), that just post a prefetch, and it may
        block only when the I/O queue is full.
