This is to make it possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and original physical readahead. But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot disable swap readahead with the change. To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap readahead. If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl. The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted. Because the knob was introduced in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14 releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.
