Subject: [PATCH 4.19 2/8] block: ensure bdi->io_pages is always initialized

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>

[ Upstream commit de1b0ee490eafdf65fac9eef9925391a8369f2dc ]

If a driver leaves the limit settings as the defaults, then we don't
initialize bdi->io_pages. This means that file systems may need to
work around bdi->io_pages == 0, which is somewhat messy.

Initialize the default value just like we do for ->ra_pages.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 9491ae4aade6 ("mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting")
