Nick Piggin 4b19de6d1c mm: tiny-shmem nommu fix
The previous patch db203d53d4 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex.  In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

/*
* tiny-shmem.c: simple shmemfs and tmpfs using ramfs code
*
* Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> January, 2004
* derived from mm/shmem.c and fs/ramfs/inode.c
*
* This is intended for small system where the benefits of the full
* shmem code (swap-backed and resource-limited) are outweighed by
* their complexity. On systems without swap this code should be
* effectively equivalent, but much lighter weight.
