[PATCH] shmem fixes
A shmem cleanup/bugfix patch from Hugh Dickins. - Minor: in try_to_unuse(), only wait on writeout if we actually started new writeout. Otherwise, there is no need because a wait_on_page_writeback() has already been executed against this page. And it's locked, so no new writeback can start. - Minor: in shmem_unuse_inode(): remove all the wait_on_page_writeback() logic. We already did that in try_to_unuse(), adn the page is locked so no new writeback can start. - Less minor: add a missing a page_cache_release() to shmem_get_page_locked() in the uncommon case where the page was found to be under writeout.
