vfs: implement readahead(2) using POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED

The implementation of readahead(2) syscall is identical to that of
fadvise64(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) with a few exceptions:
1. readahead(2) returns -EINVAL for !mapping->a_ops and fadvise64()
   ignores the request and returns 0.
2. fadvise64() checks for integer overflow corner case
3. fadvise64() calls the optional filesystem fadvise() file operation

Unite the two implementations by calling vfs_fadvise() from readahead(2)
syscall. Check the !mapping->a_ops in readahead(2) syscall to preserve
documented syscall ABI behaviour.
