Subject: [PATCH v2] fix judgment error in shmem_is_huge()

In the case of SHMEM_HUGE_WITHIN_SIZE, the page index is not rounded
up correctly. When the page index points to the first page in a huge
page, round_up() cannot bring it to the end of the huge page, but
to the end of the previous one.

an example:
HPAGE_PMD_NR on my machine is 512(2 MB huge page size).
After allcoating a 3000 KB buffer, I access it at location 2050 KB.
In shmem_is_huge(), the corresponding index happens to be 512.
After rounded up by HPAGE_PMD_NR, it will still be 512 which is
smaller than i_size, and shmem_is_huge() will return true.
As a result, my buffer takes an additional huge page, and that
shouldn't happen when shmem_enabled is set to within_size.

Fixes: f3f0e1d2150b2b ("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages")
