tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inode
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.
