Nick Piggin 4b19de6d1c mm: tiny-shmem nommu fix
The previous patch db203d53d4 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex.  In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.
