Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] Implement readahead for squashfs

Commit 9eec1d897139("squashfs: provide backing_dev_info in order to
disable read-ahead") mitigates the performance drop issue for squashfs
by closing readahead for it.

This series implements readahead callback for squashfs. The previous
discussions are in [1] and [2].

This version is based on next-20220610 and the following series:
"Squashfs: handle missing pages decompressing into page cache" [3].

This version is a refresh of ca1505bf4805 ("squashfs: implement
readahead") and 9d58b94aa73a ("squashfs: always build "file direct"
version of page actor").

There's no change in 4af2bd190a5b7 (Revert "squashfs: provide
backing_dev_info in order to disable read-ahead"), but it's carried in
this version too for consistency.
