tmpfs: fix data loss from failed fallocate
Fix tmpfs data loss when the fallocate system call is interrupted by a signal, or fails for some other reason. The partial folio handling in shmem_undo_range() forgot to consider this unfalloc case, and was liable to erase or truncate out data which had already been committed earlier. It turns out that none of the partial folio handling there is appropriate for the unfalloc case, which just wants to proceed to removal of whole folios: which find_get_entries() provides, even when partially covered.
