[PATCH] readahead: fix initial window size calculation

The current current get_init_ra_size is not optimal across different IO
sizes and max_readahead values.  Here is a quick summary of sizes computed
under current design and under the attached patch.  All of these assume 1st
IO at offset 0, or 1st detected sequential IO.
