mm, memcg: use consistent gfp flags during readahead

Vladimir has noticed that we might declare memcg oom even during
readahead because read_pages only uses GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp
restriction) while __do_page_cache_readahead uses
page_cache_alloc_readahead which adds __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from
OOMs.  This gfp mask discrepancy is really unfortunate and easily
fixable.  Drop page_cache_alloc_readahead() which only has one user and
outsource the gfp_mask logic into readahead_gfp_mask and propagate this
mask from __do_page_cache_readahead down to read_pages.

This alone would have only very limited impact as most filesystems are
implementing ->readpages and the common implementation mpage_readpages
does GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) again.  We can tell it to
use readahead_gfp_mask instead as this function is called only during
readahead as well.  The same applies to read_cache_pages.

ext4 has its own ext4_mpage_readpages but the path which has pages !=
NULL can use the same gfp mask.  Btrfs, cifs, f2fs and orangefs are
doing a very similar pattern to mpage_readpages so the same can be
applied to them as well.
