Calling shmem_insert_page() to insert one page at a time does
not scale well when multiple threads are inserting pages into
the same shmem segment. This is primarily due to the locking needed
when adding to the pagecache and LRU but also due to contention
on the shmem_inode_info lock. To address the shmem_inode_info lock
and prepare for future optimizations, introduce shmem_insert_pages()
which allows a caller to pass an array of pages to be inserted into a
shmem segment.
