The use of igrab() in swapoff's shmem_unuse_inode() is just as vulnerable
to umount as that in shmem_writepage().
Fix this instance by extending the protection of shmem_swaplist_mutex
right across shmem_unuse_inode(): while it's on the list, the inode
cannot be evicted (and the filesystem cannot be unmounted) without
shmem_evict_inode() taking that mutex to remove it from the list.
But since shmem_writepage() might take that mutex, we should avoid
making memory allocations or memcg charges while holding it: prepare
them at the outer level in shmem_unuse(). When mem_cgroup_cache_charge()
was originally placed, we didn't know until that point that the page from
swap was actually a shmem page; but nowadays it's noted in the swap_map,
so we're safe to charge upfront. For the radix_tree, do as is done in
shmem_getpage(): preload upfront, but don't pin to the cpu; so we make
a habit of refreshing the node pool, but might dip into GFP_NOWAIT
reserves on occasion if subsequently preempted.
With the allocation and charge moved out from shmem_unuse_inode(),
we can also hold index map and info->lock over from finding the entry.
