shmem: fix a race between shmem_unused_huge_shrink and shmem_evict_inode

Fix a data race in commit 779750d20b93 ("shmem: split huge pages beyond
i_size under memory pressure").

Here are call traces causing race:

   Call Trace 1:
     shmem_unused_huge_shrink+0x3ae/0x410
     ? __list_lru_walk_one.isra.5+0x33/0x160
     super_cache_scan+0x17c/0x190
     shrink_slab.part.55+0x1ef/0x3f0
     shrink_node+0x10e/0x330
     kswapd+0x380/0x740
     kthread+0xfc/0x130
     ? mem_cgroup_shrink_node+0x170/0x170
     ? kthread_create_on_node+0x70/0x70
     ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

   Call Trace 2:
     shmem_evict_inode+0xd8/0x190
     evict+0xbe/0x1c0
     do_unlinkat+0x137/0x330
     do_syscall_64+0x76/0x120
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

A simple explanation:

Image there are 3 items in the local list (@list).  In the first
traversal, A is not deleted from @list.

  1)    A->B->C
        ^
        |
        pos (leave)

In the second traversal, B is deleted from @list.  Concurrently, A is
deleted from @list through shmem_evict_inode() since last reference
counter of inode is dropped by other thread.  Then the @list is corrupted.

  2)    A->B->C
        ^  ^
        |  |
     evict pos (drop)

We should make sure the inode is either on the global list or deleted from
any local list before iput().

Fixed by moving inodes back to global list before we put them.
