huh. I'd have expected the inlining in shmem_evict_inode() to not work
because the compiler hasn't seen the definition yet. But gcc has
evidently become smarter about that.
But really, shmem_mapping() isn't worth an out-of-line call from any
callsite - it would be best to make it inlined everywhere.
- make shmem_aops global
- declare shmem_aops in shmem_fs.h
- export shmem_aops to modules for drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c
- include linux/fs.h in shmem_fs.h for address_space_operations (we already
include fs.h via swap.h, but we shouldn't depend on that)
- make shmem_mapping() a static inline in shmem_fs.h.
