[PATCH 02/16] huge tmpfs: fix split_huge_page() after FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE

[Hugh Dickins]

A successful shmem_fallocate() guarantees that the extent has been
reserved, even beyond i_size when the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was used.
But that guarantee is broken by shmem_unused_huge_shrink()'s attempts to
split huge pages and free their excess beyond i_size; and by other uses
of split_huge_page() near i_size.

It's sad to add a shmem inode field just for this, but I did not find a
better way to keep the guarantee.  A flag to say KEEP_SIZE has been used
would be cheaper, but I'm averse to unclearable flags.  The fallocend
field is not perfect either (many disjoint ranges might be fallocated),
but good enough; and gains another use later on.

Fixes: 779750d20b93 ("shmem: split huge pages beyond i_size under memory pressure")
