Also: reword the rationale for the *at() functions somewhat.

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.
