shmem: remove check for folio lock on writepage()

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2.

I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the
page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the
innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful
to others.  It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates
systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap
and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for
those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1).

To see if you hit swap:

mkswap /dev/nvme2n1
swapon /dev/nvme2n1
free -h

With swap - what we see today
=============================
mount -t tmpfs            -o size=5G           tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.7Gi       2.6Gi       1.2Gi       2.2Gi       2.2Gi       1.2Gi
Swap:           99Gi       2.8Gi        97Gi


Without swap
=============

free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.7Gi       387Mi       3.4Gi       2.1Mi        57Mi       3.3Gi
Swap:           99Gi          0B        99Gi
mount -t tmpfs            -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3.7Gi       2.6Gi       1.2Gi       2.3Gi       2.3Gi       1.1Gi
Swap:           99Gi        21Mi        99Gi

The mix and match remount testing
=================================

# Cannot disable swap after it was first enabled:
mount -t tmpfs            -o size=5G           tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg -c
tmpfs: Cannot disable swap on remount

# Remount with the same noswap option is OK:
mount -t tmpfs            -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dmesg -c

# Trying to enable swap with a remount after it first disabled:
mount -t tmpfs            -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G           tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg -c
tmpfs: Cannot enable swap on remount if it was disabled on first mount


This patch (of 6):

Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock on the
writepage() callback so remove it.  This sanity check has been lingering
since linux-history days.  We remove this as we tidy up the writepage()
callback to make things a bit clearer.
