Currently userfault relies on vma_is_anonymous and vma_is_hugetlb to ensure
compatibility of a VMA with userfault. Introduction of vma_is_shmem allows
detection if tmpfs backed VMAs, so that they may be used with userfaultfd.
Current implementation presumes usage of vma_is_shmem only by slow path
routines in userfaultfd, therefore the vma_is_shmem is not made inline to
leave the few remaining free bits in vm_flags.
