Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: shmem_replace_page() remember NR_SHMEM

Elsewhere, NR_SHMEM is updated at the same time as shmem NR_FILE_PAGES;
but shmem_replace_page() was forgetting to do that - so NR_SHMEM stats
could grow too big or too small, in those unusual cases when it's used.

This is not terribly important, and will clash with one of Matthew's
59 for 5.21; I don't mind if this gets delayed, and we just do it again
on top of his series later, or he fold the equivalent into his series;
but thought I'd better send it in as another fix to shmem_replace_page()
while that function is on our minds.
