From: Bob Liu <lliubbo@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()
There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU:
1. create a new file
2. mmap the file and write to it
3. read the file can't get the correct value
Because
sys_read() > generic_file_aio_read() > simple_readpage() > clear_page()
which make the page be zeroed.
Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that
generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().
