mm, truncate: remove all exceptional entries from pagevec under one lock

During truncate each entry in a pagevec is checked to see if it is an
exceptional entry and if so, the shadow entry is cleaned up.  This is
potentially expensive as multiple entries for a mapping locks/unlocks
the tree lock.  This batches the operation such that any exceptional
entries removed from a pagevec only acquire the mapping tree lock once.
The corner case where this is more expensive is where there is only one
exceptional entry but this is unlikely due to temporal locality and how
it affects LRU ordering.  Note that for truncations of small files
created recently, this patch should show no gain because it only batches
the handling of exceptional entries.

of files being truncated 6.46% faster.  bonnie shows a modest gain of
2.53%
