readahead: split ondemand readahead interface into two functions

Split ondemand readahead interface into two functions.  I think this makes it
a little clearer for non-readahead experts (like Rusty).

Internally they both call ondemand_readahead(), but the page argument is
changed to an obvious boolean flag.
