This version was buggy.  Apparently I was too focused on running the test suite against XFS and neglected to run it against tmpfs, which crashed instantly.

Here's the patch I should have sent.

    mm/shmem: Return head page from find_lock_entry
    
    Convert shmem_getpage_gfp() (the only remaining caller of
    find_lock_entry()) to cope with a head page being returned instead of
    the subpage for the index.
