readahead: move synchronous readahead call out of splice loop
Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop.
This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero
ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages.
Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will
not get expected readahead behavior anyway. The splice code works in batches
of 16 pages, which can be taken as another form of synchronous readahead.
