mm/shmem: fix potential dead loop in shmem_unuse()
If multi shmem_unuse() for different swap type is called concurrently, a
dead loop could occur as following:
shmem_unuse(typeA) shmem_unuse(typeB)
mutex_lock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
list_for_each_entry_safe(info, next, ...)
...
mutex_unlock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
/* info->swapped may drop to 0 */
shmem_unuse_inode(&info->vfs_inode, type)
mutex_lock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
list_for_each_entry(info, next, ...)
if (!info->swapped)
list_del_init(&info->swaplist)
...
mutex_unlock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
mutex_lock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
/* iterate with offlist entry and encounter a dead loop */
next = list_next_entry(info, swaplist);
...
Restart the iteration if the inode is already off shmem_swaplist list to
fix the issue.
