Subject: mm/filemap.c: fix a data race in filemap_fault()

struct file_ra_state ra.mmap_miss could be accessed concurrently during
page faults as noticed by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in filemap_fault / filemap_map_pages

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:

ra.mmap_miss is used to contribute the readahead decisions, a data race
could be undesirable.  Both the read and write is only under non-exclusive
mmap_sem, two concurrent writers could even underflow the counter.  Fix
the underflow by writing to a local variable before committing a final
store to ra.mmap_miss given a small inaccuracy of the counter should be
acceptable.
