tmpfs: fix shmem_evict_inode() warnings on i_blocks

Dmitry Vyukov provides a little program, autogenerated by syzkaller,
which races a fault on a mapping of a sparse memfd object, against
truncation of that object below the fault address: run repeatedly for a
few minutes, it reliably generates shmem_evict_inode()'s
WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks).

(But there's nothing specific to memfd here, nor to the fstat which it
happened to use to generate the fault: though that looked suspicious,
since a shmem_recalc_inode() had been added there recently.  The same
problem can be reproduced with open+unlink in place of memfd_create, and
with fstatfs in place of fstat.)

v3.7 commit 0f3c42f5 ("tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING")
explains one cause of such a warning (a race with shmem_writepage to
swap), and possible solutions; but we never took it further, and this
syzkaller incident turns out to have a different cause.

shmem_getpage_gfp()'s error recovery, when a freshly allocated page is
then found to be beyond eof, looks plausible - decrementing the alloced
count that was just before incremented - but in fact can go wrong, if a
racing thread (the truncator, for example) gets its shmem_recalc_inode()
in just after our delete_from_page_cache().  delete_from_page_cache()
decrements nrpages, that shmem_recalc_inode() will balance the books by
decrementing alloced itself, then our decrement of alloced take it one
too low: leading to the WARNING when the object is finally evicted.

Once the new page has been exposed in the page cache,
shmem_getpage_gfp() must leave it to shmem_recalc_inode() itself to get
the accounting right in all cases (and not fall through from "trunc:" to
"decused:").  Adjust that error recovery block; and the reinitialization
of info and sbinfo can be removed too.

While we're here, fix shmem_writepage() to avoid the original issue: it
will be safe against a racing shmem_recalc_inode(), if it merely
increments swapped before the shmem_delete_from_page_cache() which
decrements nrpages (but it must then do its own shmem_recalc_inode()
before that, while still in balance, instead of after).  (Aside: why do
we shmem_recalc_inode() here in the swap path? Because its raison d'etre
is to cope with clean sparse shmem pages being reclaimed behind our
back: so here when swapping is a good place to look for that case.) But
I've not now managed to reproduce this bug, even without the patch.

I don't see why I didn't do that earlier: perhaps inhibited by the
preference to eliminate shmem_recalc_inode() altogether.  Driven by this
incident, I do now have a patch to do so at last; but still want to sit
on it for a bit, there's a couple of questions yet to be resolved.
