Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] FUSE: Add FUSE_TRUST_MAX_RA flag enabling readahead settings >128KB.

The existing process_init_reply() in fs/fuse/inode.c sets the ra_pages
value to the minimum of the max_readahead value provided by the user
and the pre-existing ra_pages value, which is initialized to
VM_READAHEAD_PAGES. This makes it impossible to increase the readahead
value to larger values.

Add a new flag which causes us to blindly accept the user-provided
value. Note that the existing read_ahead_kb sysfs entry for normal
block devices does the same (simply accepts user-provided values
directly with no checks).
