Subject: [PATCH] mm: shmem: avoid build warning for CONFIG_SHMEM=n

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The newly added 'flags' variable is unused and causes a warning if
CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, since the shmem_acct_size() macro it is passed
into does nothing:

mm/shmem.c: In function '__shmem_file_setup':
mm/shmem.c:5816:23: error: unused variable 'flags' [-Werror=unused-variable]
 5816 |         unsigned long flags = (vm_flags & VM_NORESERVE) ? SHMEM_F_NORESERVE : 0;
      |                       ^~~~~

Replace the macro with an equivalent inline function to get the
argument checking.

Fixes: 6ff1610ced56 ("mm: shmem: use SHMEM_F_* flags instead of VM_* flags")
