Subject: [PATCH v4 02/16] mm/shmem: Use pagevec_lookup in shmem_unlock_mapping

The comment shows that the reason for using find_get_entries() is now
stale; find_get_pages() will not return 0 if it hits a consecutive run
of swap entries, and I don't believe it has since 2011.  pagevec_lookup()
is a simpler function to use than find_get_pages(), so use it instead.
