mm/filemap.c: don't bother dropping mmap_sem for zero size readahead

Browse Source 
When handling a page fault, we drop mmap_sem to start async readahead so
that we don't block on IO submission with mmap_sem held.  However there's
no point to drop mmap_sem in case readahead is disabled.  Handle that case
to avoid pointless dropping of mmap_sem and retrying the fault.  This was
actually reported to block mlockall(MCL_CURRENT) indefinitely.

Fixes: 6b4c9f4469 ("filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations")
