[PATCH 7/12] tmpfs: convert shmem_unuse_inode to radix-swap

[Hugh Dickins]

Convert shmem_unuse_inode() to use a lockless gang lookup of the radix
tree, searching for matching swap.

This is somewhat slower than the old method: because of repeated radix
tree descents, because of copying entries up, but probably most because
the old method noted and skipped once a vector page was cleared of swap.
Perhaps we can devise a use of radix tree tagging to achieve that later.

shmem_add_to_page_cache() uses shmem_radix_tree_replace() to compensate
for the lockless lookup by checking that the expected entry is in place,
under lock.  It is not very satisfactory to be copying this much from
add_to_page_cache_locked(), but I think easier to sell than insisting
that every caller of add_to_page_cache*() go through the extras.
