Remove that pernicious shmem_readpage() at last: the things we needed
it for (splice, loop, sendfile, i915 GEM) are now fully taken care of
by shmem_file_splice_read() and shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp().
This removal clears the way for a simpler shmem_getpage_gfp(), since
page is never passed in; but leave most of that cleanup until after.
sys_readahead() and sys_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) will now EINVAL,
instead of unexpectedly trying to read ahead on tmpfs: if that proves
to be an issue for someone, then we can either arrange for them to
return success instead, or try to implement async readahead on tmpfs.
