[LTP] [PATCH v3 5/6] syscalls/readahead02: test readahead using posix_fadvise()

[Amir Goldstein]

The call to posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) should have the same
effect as the call to readahead() syscall.

Repeat the test cases for local file and overlayfs file with
posix_fadvise().

The new test case is a regression test for kernel commit b833a3660394
("ovl: add ovl_fadvise()") which fixes a regression of fadvise() on
an overlay file that was introduced by kernel commit 5b910bd615ba
("ovl: fix GPF in swapfile_activate of file from overlayfs over xfs").
