cifs: set ra_pages in backing_dev_info

Commit 522440ed made cifs set backing_dev_info on the mapping attached
to new inodes. This change caused a fairly significant read performance
regression, as cifs started doing page-sized reads exclusively.

By virtue of the fact that they're allocated as part of cifs_sb_info by
kzalloc, the ra_pages on cifs BDIs get set to 0, which prevents any
readahead. This forces the normal read codepaths to use readpage instead
of readpages causing a four-fold increase in the number of read calls
with the default rsize.

Fix it by setting ra_pages in the BDI to the same value as that in the
default_backing_dev_info.
