a_ops->readpages() is only ever used for read-ahead, yet we don't flag
the IO being submitted as such.  Fix that up.  Any file system that uses
mpage_readpages() as its ->readpages() implementation will now get this
right.

Since we're passing in whether the IO is read-ahead or not, we don't
need to pass in the 'gfp' separately, as it is dependent on the IO being
read-ahead.  Kill off that member.

Add some documentation notes on ->readpages() being purely for
read-ahead.
