page_cache_ra_unbounded() was allocating single pages (0 order folios)
if there was no folio found in an index. Allocate mapping_min_order folios
as we need to guarantee the minimum order if it is set.
When read_pages() is triggered and if a page is already present, check
for truncation and move the ractl->_index by mapping_min_nrpages if that
folio was truncated. This is done to ensure we keep the alignment
requirement while adding a folio to the page cache.

page_cache_ra_order() tries to allocate folio to the page cache with a
higher order if the index aligns with that order. Modify it so that the
order does not go below the mapping_min_order requirement of the page
cache. This function will do the right thing even if the new_order passed
is less than the mapping_min_order.
When adding new folios to the page cache we must also ensure the index
used is aligned to the mapping_min_order as the page cache requires the
index to be aligned to the order of the folio.

readahead_expand() is called from readahead aops to extend the range of
the readahead so this function can assume ractl->_index to be aligned with
min_order.
