[PATCH 101/241] tmpfs: fix shmem_getpage_gfp() VM_BUG_ON

[Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski]

3.5.7.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 215c02bc33bbd5ff4d7379a909462d11f0103218 upstream.

Fuzzing with trinity hit the "impossible" VM_BUG_ON(error) (which Fedora
has converted to WARNING) in shmem_getpage_gfp():

  WARNING: at mm/shmem.c:1151 shmem_getpage_gfp+0xa5c/0xa70()

Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.

What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),
which takes care of the memcg uncharge.
