mm: improve cleanup when ->readpages doesn't process all pages

If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as
though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try
again.

So:

  - remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded
    with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s

  - update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually
    submitted.

This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g.  to congestion, which
will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from
page_Cache_async_ra().
