madvise_willneed() will return 0 when succeed, so need return 0 instead of read bytes after force_page_cache_readahead() succeeds. The related commit: "fee53ce mm/readahead.c: return the value which force_page_cache_readahead() returns" causes this issue. After modification, it can pass LTP common test (disable CONFIG_SWAP). Although the original one also can pass LTP common test, still better to fix it.
