Subject: [PATCH] mm : update ra->ra_pages if it's NOT equal to bdi->ra_pages

file->f_ra->ra_pages will remain the initialized value since it opend, which may
be NOT equal to bdi->ra_pages as the latter one is updated somehow(etc,
echo xxx > /sys/block/dm/queue/read_ahead_kb).So sync ra->ra_pages to the
updated value when sync read.
