Subject: mm/readahead.c: inline ra_submit
From: Fabian Frederick <fabf@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 29f175d125f0f3a9503af8a5596f93d714cceb08 upstream.
Commit f9acc8c7b35a ("readahead: sanify file_ra_state names") left
ra_submit with a single function call.
Move ra_submit to internal.h and inline it to save some stack. Thanks
to Andrew Morton for commenting different versions.
