readahead: reduce unnecessary mmap_miss increases

The original INT_MAX is too large, reduce it to

- avoid unnecessarily dirtying/bouncing the cache line

- restore mmap read-around faster on changed access pattern

Background: in the mosbench exim benchmark which does multi-threaded page
faults on shared struct file, the ra->mmap_miss updates are found to cause
excessive cache line bouncing on tmpfs.  The ra state updates are needless
for tmpfs because it actually disabled readahead totally
(shmem_backing_dev_info.ra_pages == 0).
