Subject: [PATCH -mm] mm: readahead: apply a default readahead size

UBSAN reports an invalid shift size:

mr-fox kernel: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/linux/log2.h:57:13
mr-fox kernel: shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'

Follow-up report:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0c283ea9-b446-0e40-6dc8-e9585ae171b4@gmx.de/T/#m9b604660925f9e8a544f7453130c31d083c1e5bb


Willy suggested that get_init_ra_size() was being called with a size of 0,
which would cause this (instead of some Huge value), so add a check in
that function for size == 0, and if 0, default it to 32 (pages).
