readahead: remove the local copy of ra in do_generic_mapping_read()
The local copy of ra in do_generic_mapping_read() can now go away.
It predates readanead(req_size). In a time when the readahead code was called
on *every* single page. Hence a local has to be made to reduce the chance of
the readahead state being overwritten by a concurrent reader. More details
