[PATCH 7/9] readahead: remove unused do_page_cache_readahead()

[Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn>]

Remove do_page_cache_readahead().
Its last user, mmap read-around, has been changed to call ra_submit().

Also, the no-readahead-if-congested logic is not appropriate here. 
Raw 1-page reads can only makes things painfully slower, and
users are pretty sensitive about the slow loading of executables.
