mm/readahead.c: fix do_readahead() for no readpage(s)
Commit 63d0f0a3c7e1 ("mm/readahead.c:do_readhead(): don't check for ->readpage") unintentionally made do_readahead return 0 for all valid files regardless of whether readahead was supported, rather than the expected -EINVAL. This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g. when called on pipes or sockets). This issue is detected by the LTP readahead01 testcase. As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when readpage or readpages is missing). With that in place we can simply forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in do_readahead. This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.
