mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens
The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache regardless of dirty or clean. If the page is dirty the later access will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the users. This may cause silent data loss. It is even worse for shmem since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means discarding data blocks. The later read would return all zero. The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault, until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed. The regular storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is focused on shmem. This also unblock the support for soft offlining shmem THP.
