Subject: [RFC v16][PATCH 16/43] c/r: export shmem_getpage() to support shared memory

Export functionality to retrieve specific pages from shared memory
given an inode in shmem-fs; this will be used in the next two patches
to provide support for c/r of shared memory.

mm/shmem.c:
- shmem_getpage() and 'enum sgp_type' moved to linux/mm.h
