Subject: shmem: update folio if shmem_replace_page() updates the page
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2022 05:25:18 +0100

If we allocate a new page, we need to make sure that our folio matches
that new page.  This will be solved by changing shmem_replace_page() to
shmem_replace_folio(), but this is the minimal fix.
