[PATCH 1/8] shmem: shrink shmem_inode_info: dir_offsets in a union

[Hugh Dickins]

Shave 32 bytes off (the 64-bit) shmem_inode_info.  There was a 4-byte
pahole after stop_eviction, better filled by fsflags.  And the 24-byte
dir_offsets can only be used by directories, whereas shrinklist and
swaplist only by shmem_mapping() inodes (regular files or long symlinks):
so put those into a union.  No change in mm/shmem.c is required for this.
