This shouldn't really change behavior all that much, but the single rather
complex function with read-ahead inside a loop etc is broken up into more
manageable pieces.

The behaviour is also less subtle, with the read-ahead being done up-front
rather than inside some subtle loop and thus avoiding the now unnecessary
extra state variables (ie "did_readaround" is gone).

Fengguang: the code split in fact fixed a bug reported by Pavel Levshin:
the PGMAJFAULT accounting used to be bypassed when MADV_RANDOM is set, in
which case the original code will directly jump to no_cached_page reading.
