shmem: Implement splice-read
The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist. shmem, however, (and by extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(), Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in zero_page when there's a page missing.
