readahead: remove the limit max_sectors_kb imposed on max_readahead_kb

Remove the size limit max_sectors_kb imposed on max_readahead_kb.

The size restriction is unreasonable.  Especially when max_sectors_kb cannot
grow larger than max_hw_sectors_kb, which can be rather small for some disk
drives.
