SHM_UNLOCK: fix long unpreemptible section

commit 85046579bde15e532983438f86b36856e358f417 upstream.

scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages
evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked.  It does this with
pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of
memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here.  A cond_resched() every
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good.

However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's
info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks.
There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the
unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it.

So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's
unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling.  Remove the recently
added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan.

Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference
to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something
that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock().

Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK
time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves
no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since
pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable.

The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag
at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED.

The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked
area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks
which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let
inode eviction deal with them.

Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages()
under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used),
more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.
