Linux 5.15 compat: block device readahead

The 5.15 kernel moved the backing_dev_info structure out of the request queue structure which causes a build failure. Rather than look in the new location for the BDI we instead detect this upstream refactoring by the existance of either the blk_queue_update_readahead() or disk_update_readahead() functions. In either case, there's no longer any reason to manually set the ra_pages value since it will be overridden with a reasonable default (2x the block size) when blk_queue_io_opt() is called. Therefore, we update the compatibility wrapper to do nothing for 5.9 and newer kernels. While it's tempting to do the same for older kernels we want to keep the compatibility code to preserve the existing behavior. Removing it would effectively increase the default readahead to 128k.
