That point was a reason for me to make this bug before.
This is get_node_page_ra, not ra_node_page, which means that
ra_node_page does actual readahead for another node pages.

In summary, get_node_page_ra tries to:
1. grab or read a target node page for the given nid,
2. then, call ra_node_page to read other adjacent node pages in advance.

So, when we try to read a target node page by #1, we should submit bio
with READ_SYNC instead of READA.

I'll add this to the description.
Thanks,
