Subject: [PATCH] Revert "page cache: fix page_cache_next/prev_miss off by one"

From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@...cle.com>

commit 16f8eb3eea9eb2a1568279d64ca4dc977e7aa538 upstream

This reverts commit 9425c591e06a9ab27a145ba655fb50532cf0bcc9

The reverted commit fixed up routines primarily used by readahead code
such that they could also be used by hugetlb.  Unfortunately, this
caused a performance regression as pointed out by the Closes: tag.

The hugetlb code which uses page_cache_next_miss will be addressed in
a subsequent patch.
