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.

If we do end up in this code path, we store the wrong page in the shmem
inode's page cache, and I would rather imagine that data corruption
ensues.

This will be solved by changing shmem_replace_page() to
shmem_replace_folio(), but this is the minimal fix.
