readahead: fix return value of page_cache_next_miss() when no hole is found
max_scan in page_cache_next_miss always decreases to zero when no hole is
found, causing the return value to be index + 0.
Fix this by preserving the max_scan value throughout the loop.
Jan said "From what I know and have seen in the past, wrong responses
from page_cache_next_miss() can lead to readahead window reduction and
thus reduced read speeds."
