readahead: improve heuristic detecting sequential reads

Browse source 
Introduce ra.offset and store in it an offset where the previous read
ended.  This way we can detect whether reads are really sequential (and
thus we should not mark the page as accessed repeatedly) or whether they
are random and just happen to be in the same page (and the page should
really be marked accessed again).
