tmpfs: fix mounts when size is less than the page size

When tmpfs is mounted with a size less than one page, the number of blocks
is set to 0 which makes the tmpfs mount unlimited.  This can lead to a
quick and surprising death if someone typos a tmpfs mount command and
writes too much.

tmpfs can still be mounted as unlimited if size or nr_blocks is exactly 0,
as Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt says.

Hugh: do this by rounding size up instead of down in all cases: which
slightly expands other odd-sized tmpfs mounts, but in a consistent way.
