shmem: fix quota lock nesting in huge hole handling
i_pages lock nests inside i_lock, but shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge() were being called from THP splitting or collapsing while i_pages lock was held, and now go on to call dquot_alloc_block_nodirty() which takes i_lock to update i_blocks. We may well want to take i_lock out of this path later, in the non-quota case even if it's left in the quota case (or perhaps use i_lock instead of shmem's info->lock throughout); but don't get into that at this time. Move the shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge() calls out from under i_pages lock, accounting the full batch of holes in a single call. Still pass the pages argument to shmem_uncharge(), but it happens now to be unused: shmem_recalc_inode() is designed to account for clean pages freed behind shmem's back, so it gets the accounting right by itself; then the later call to shmem_inode_unacct_blocks() led to imbalance (that WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) in shmem_evict_inode()).
