readahead: make mmap_miss an unsigned int
This makes the performance impact of possible mmap_miss wrap around to be
temporary and tolerable: i.e. MMAP_LOTSAMISS=100 extra readarounds.
Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX
cache misses to bring it back to normal state. During the time mmap
readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload. That's
almost permanent performance impact.
