The latest RHEL8.5 kernel sets initial @ra_pages of
backing_dev_info with VM_READAHEAD_PAGES:
struct backing_dev_info *bdi_alloc(int node_id)
{
...
bdi->ra_pages = VM_READAHEAD_PAGES;
bdi->io_pages = VM_READAHEAD_PAGES;
...
}

This will cause that @ra_pages of file readahead state is set
with @bdi->ra_pages, make the readahead is out of Lustre control
and trigger the readahead logic in Linux kernel wrongly. And it
results in the failure sanity 101j.

In this patch, we force to set @ra_pages of backing_dev_info with
0 after setup the backing device info. By this way, it disables
kernel readahead in the super block.

This patch also cleanups the unnecessary setting of @ra_pages in
llite "file.c" and "vvp_io.c".
