Subject: mm: fix compile error when CONFIG_SHMEM is not set
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2025 17:05:00 -0400

When CONFIG_SHMEM is not set, the following compiler error occurs:

ld: vmlinux.o: in function `ttm_backup_backup_page':
(.text+0x10363bc): undefined reference to `shmem_writeout'
make[3]: *** [/work/build/trace/nobackup/linux-test.git/scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:91: vmlinux.unstripped] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/work/build/trace/nobackup/linux-test.git/Makefile:1241: vmlinux] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/work/build/trace/nobackup/linux-test.git/Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/work/build/nobackup/tracetest'
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2

This is due to the replacement of writepage and calling swap_writepage()
and shmem_writepage() directly.  The issue is that when CONFIG_SHMEM is
not defined, shmem_writepage() is also not defined.  Add it as a stub, and
it should also never be called when CONFIG_SHMEM is undefined.
