tmpfs: fix regressions from wider use of ZERO_PAGE
Chuck Lever reported fsx-based xfstests generic 075 091 112 127 failing
when 5.18-rc1 NFS server exports tmpfs: bisected to recent tmpfs change.
Whilst nfsd_splice_action() does contain some questionable handling of
repeated pages, and Chuck was able to work around there, history from
Mark Hemment makes clear that there might be similar dangers elsewhere:
it was not a good idea for me to pass ZERO_PAGE down to unknown actors.
Revert shmem_file_read_iter() to using ZERO_PAGE for holes only when
iter_is_iovec(); in other cases, use the more natural iov_iter_zero()
instead of copy_page_to_iter().
We would use iov_iter_zero() throughout, but the x86 clear_user() is not
nearly so well optimized as copy to user (dd of 1T sparse tmpfs file
takes 57 seconds rather than 44 seconds).
And now pagecache_init() does not need to SetPageUptodate(ZERO_PAGE(0)):
which had caused boot failure on arm noMMU STM32F7 and STM32H7 boards
