Subject: [PATCH 4/9] swap: Simplify shmem_unuse() usage [optional]
Simplify shmem_unuse_inode() removing a confusing optimisation which
requires the caller to call swap_duplicate if the shmem_unuse() call
doesn't succeed.
Based on a patch by Nick Piggin and some of my own changes as discussed
on LKML.
