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.git/scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:91: vmlinux.unstripped] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/work/build/trace/nobackup/linux.git/Makefile:1241: vmlinux] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/work/build/trace/nobackup/linux.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_writeout()
and shmem_writeout() directly. The issue is that when CONFIG_SHMEM is not
defined, shmem_writeout() is also not defined.

The function ttm_backup_backup_page() called mapping->a_ops->writepage()
which was then changed to call shmem_writeout() directly.

Even before commit 84798514db50 ("mm: Remove swap_writepage() and
shmem_writepage()"), it didn't make sense to call anything other than
shmem_writeout() as the ttm_backup deals only with shmem folios.

Have DRM_TTM config option select SHMEM to guarantee that shmem_writeout()
is available.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250602170500.48713a2b@gandalf.local.home/

- Instead of adding a shmem_writeout() stub, just make CONFIG_DRM_TTM
  select CONFIG_SHMEM (Hugh Dickins)
