Subject: [PATCH] dm: do not allow readahead to limit IO size
Update DM to set the bdi's io_pages. This fixes reads to be capped at
the device's max request size (even if user's read IO exceeds the
established readahead setting).
Fixes: 9491ae4a ("mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting")
