vfs: fix readahead(2) on block devices
Readahead was factored to call generic_fadvise. That refactor added an
S_ISREG restriction which broke readahead on block devices.
In addition to S_ISREG, this change checks S_ISBLK to fix block device
readahead. There is no change in behavior with any file type besides block
devices in this change.
Fixes: 3d8f7615319b ("vfs: implement readahead(2) using POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED")
