[PATCHv3 7/7] block: protect read_ahead_kb using q->limits_lock

[Nilay Shroff <nilay@linux.ibm.com>]

The bdi->ra_pages could be updated under q->limits_lock because it's
usually calculated from the queue limits by queue_limits_commit_update.
So protect reading/writing the sysfs attribute read_ahead_kb using
q->limits_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock.
