[PATCH v18 03/15] shmem: Implement splice-read

[David Howells]

The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via
filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't
fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially
leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist.  shmem, however, (and by
extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(),

Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read
implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in
zero_page when there's a page missing.
