Readahead was factored to call generic_fadvise. That refactor added an
S_ISREG restriction which broke readahead on block devices.
In addition to S_ISREG, this change checks S_ISBLK to fix block device
readahead. There is no change in behavior with any file type besides block
devices in this change.
Fixes:
