[PATCH 7/9] tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inode

[Hugh Dickins]

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.
