A few (but not all) dm targets use a special EWOULDBLOCK error code for failing REQ_RAHEAD requests that fail due to a lack of available resources. But no one else knows about this magic code, and lower level drivers also don't generate it when failing read-ahead requests for similar reasons.
So remove this special casing and ignore all additional error handling for REQ_RAHEAD - if this was a real underlying error we'd get a normal read once the real read comes in.
