Subject: [PATCH 1/3] shmem: fix double uncharge in __shmem_file_setup()

If __shmem_file_setup() fails on struct file allocation it uncharges memory
commitment twice: first by shmem_unacct_size() and second time implicitly in
shmem_evict_inode() when it kills newly created inode.
This patch removes shmem_unacct_size() from error path if inode already here.
