The readahead size used to be 2MB, thus it's reasonable to set the file
size as 4MB when checking check_file_mmap().
However since commit c2e4cd57cfa1 ("block: lift setting the readahead
size into the block layer"), readahead size could be as large as twice
the io_opt, and thus the hardcoded file size no longer works.
check_file_mmap() may report "Read-ahead pages reached the end of the
file" when the readahead size actually exceeds the file size in this
case.
To fix this issue, read the exact readahead window size via BLKRAGET
ioctl. Since now we have the readahead window size, take a more
fine-grained check. It is worth noting that this fine-grained check may
be broken as the sync readahead algorithm of kernel changes. It may be
acceptable since the algorithm of readahead ranging should be quite
stable, and we could tune the test case accorddingly if the algorithm
indeed changes.

changes since v3:
- make the check more fine-grained since we have the exact readahead
window size now, as suggested by Ricardo Cañuelo
chnages since v2:
- add 'Reported-by'
chnages since v1:
- add the test name "mincore" in the subject line
- add the error message in commit message
- rename @filesize to @file_size to keep a more consistent naming
convention
