tmpfs: change shmem_mapping() to test shmem_aops
Callers of shmem_mapping() are interested in whether the mapping is swap backed - except for uprobes, which is interested in whether it should use shmem_read_mapping_page(). All these callers are better served by a shmem_mapping() which checks for shmem_aops, than the current version which goes through several indirections to find where the inode lives - and has the surprising effect that a private mmap of /dev/zero satisfies both vma_is_anonymous() and shmem_mapping(), when that device node is on devtmpfs. I don't think anything in the tree suffers from that surprise, but it caught me out, and is better fixed.
