shmem: add huge pages support
Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs.
It's all pretty streight-forward:
- shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into
radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache();
- shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's
space for it;
- shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range.
Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP.
This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case,
lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what
pages happened to be allocated.
- no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as
huge if VMA is suitable;
