tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inode
There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a
window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap
entry, and its handling of the entry found.
shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in
that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had
better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too.
Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll
leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse
into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match.
Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the
unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.
