Ah, you're right, my interpretation of the various flags got mixed up
somewhere along the way.
page_in_pagecache is equivalent to vm_shared in this function,
*except* when we have is_continue. Given that, I think this patch is
correct in the vm_shared case (no behavior change). In case of
!vm_shared && is_continue, I agree the patch is a correction to the
previous behavior.
