[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.

	32k max, 4k request
