Remove 'fastcall' directive for readahead_cache_hit().

It leads to unfavorable performance in the following micro benchmark on i386
with CONFIG_REGPARM=n:

Command:
        time cp cold /dev/null

Summary:
              user     sys     cpu    total
no-fastcall   1.24    24.88    90.9   28.57
fastcall      1.16    25.69    91.5   29.23

Details:
without fastcall:
cp cold /dev/null  1.27s user 24.63s system 91% cpu 28.348 total
cp cold /dev/null  1.17s user 25.09s system 91% cpu 28.653 total
