shmem: split huge pages beyond i_size under memory pressure
Even if user asked to allocate huge pages always (huge=always), we should be able to free up some memory by splitting pages which are partly byound i_size if memory presure comes or once we hit limit on filesystem size (-o size=). In order to do this we maintain per-superblock list of inodes, which potentially have huge pages on the border of file size. Per-fs shrinker can reclaim memory by splitting such pages. If we hit -ENOSPC during shmem_getpage_gfp(), we try to split a page to free up space on the filesystem and retry allocation if it succeed.
