mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens

The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache
regardless of dirty or clean.  If the page is dirty the later access
will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the
users.  This may cause silent data loss.  It is even worse for shmem
since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means
discarding data blocks.  The later read would return all zero.

The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any
later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault,
until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed.  The regular
storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is
focused on shmem.  This also unblock the support for soft offlining
shmem THP.
