Subject: [PATCH] shmem: fixup memory reservation during truncating

Shared anon mappings created without MAP_NORESERVE may hold reservation of
memory commitment for whole size of shmem segment. There was no way to change
that size, but recently introduced 'map_files' in proc allows to do that.
This patch adjust memory reservation in shmem_setattr() during truncating.
