mm: return void from various readahead functions
ondemand_readahead has two callers, neither of which use the return
value.  That means that both ra_submit and __do_page_cache_readahead()
can return void, and we don't need to worry that a present page in the
readahead window causes us to return a smaller nr_pages than we ought to
have.

Similarly, no caller uses the return value from
force_page_cache_readahead().
