    block: never reduce ra_pages in blk_apply_bdi_limits

    When the user increased the read-ahead size through sysfs this value
    currently get lost if the device is reprobe, including on a resume
    from suspend.

    As there is no hardware limitation for the read-ahead size there is
    no real need to reset it or track a separate hardware limitation
    like for max_sectors.

    This restores the pre-atomic queue limit behavior in the sd driver as
    sd did not use blk_queue_io_opt and thus never updated the read ahead
    size to the value based of the optimal I/O, but changes behavior for
    all other drivers.  As the new behavior seems useful and sd is the
    driver for which the readahead size tweaks are most useful that seems
    like a worthwhile trade off.

    Fixes: 804e498e0496 ("sd: convert to the atomic queue limits API")
