[PATCH v2 03/21] mm: Make readahead store folio count in readahead_control

Make readahead store folio count in readahead_control so that the
filesystem can know in advance how many folios it needs to keep track of.

This is cleared by read_pages() in case it is called from a loop.

The count is accessed by the filesystem with readahead_folio_count().
