shmem_file_write is redundant 

With the old aops, writing to a tmpfs file had to use its own special method:
the generic method would pass in a fresh page to prepare_write when the right
page was there in swapcache - which was inefficient to handle, even once we'd
concocted the code to handle it.

With the new aops, the generic method uses shmem_write_end, which lets
shmem_getpage find the right page: so now abandon shmem_file_write in favour
of the generic method.  Yes, that does do several things that tmpfs hasn't
really needed (notably balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited, which ramfs also
calls); but more use of common code is preferable.
