[Cluster-devel] return an ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

Hi all,

__filemap_get_folio and its wrappers can return NULL for three different
conditions, which in some cases requires the caller to reverse engineer
the decision making.  This is fixed by returning an ERR_PTR instead of
NULL and thus transporting the reason for the failure.  But to make
that work we first need to ensure that no xa_value special case is
returned and thus return the FGP_ENTRY flag.  It turns out that flag
is barely used and can usually be deal with in a better way.

Note that the shmem patches in here are non-trivial and need some
careful review and testing.
