Now that we lifts readahead size from 128KB to 512KB, the MMAP_LOTSAMISS shall be shrinked accordingly. We shrink it a bit more, so that for sparse random access patterns, only 10*512KB or ~5MB memory will be wasted, instead of the previous 100*128KB or ~12MB. The new threshold "10" is still big enough to avoid turning off read-around for typical executable/lib page faults.
