tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp
Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp() is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache. At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage. Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition, Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h, with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case. (shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)
