We need to be able to store the preferred folio order associated with a readahead request in the struct file_ra_state so that we can more accurately increase the order across subsequent readahead requests. But struct file_ra_state is per-struct file, so we don't really want to increase it's size. mmap_miss is currently 32 bits but it is only counted up to 10 * MMAP_LOTSAMISS, which is currently defined as 1000. So 16 bits should be plenty. Redefine it to unsigned short, making room for order as unsigned short in follow up commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
