Subject: [PATCH 5.0 040/146] btrfs: dont report readahead errors and dont update statistics

5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Sterba <dsterba@...e.com>

commit 0cc068e6ee59c1fffbfa977d8bf868b7551d80ac upstream.

As readahead is an optimization, all errors are usually filtered out,
but still properly handled when the real read call is done. The commit
5e9d398240b2 ("btrfs: readpages() should submit IO as read-ahead") added
REQ_RAHEAD to readpages() because that's only used for readahead
(despite what one would expect from the callback name).

This causes a flood of messages and inflated read error stats, so skip
reporting in case it's readahead.
