There has been a long-standing and very minor off-by-one, where
shmem_get_folio_gfp() decides if a large folio extends beyond i_size far
enough to leave a page or more for freeing later under pressure.

This is not something needed for stable: but it will be proportionately
more significant as support for smaller large folios is added, and is best
fixed before duplicating the check in other places.
