Kemeng Shi 3f778ab1b5 mm/shmem: fix potential dead loop in shmem_unuse()
If multi shmem_unuse() for different swap type is called concurrently, a
dead loop could occur as following:

shmem_unuse(typeA)               shmem_unuse(typeB)
 mutex_lock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
 list_for_each_entry_safe(info, next, ...)
  ...
  mutex_unlock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
  /* info->swapped may drop to 0 */
  shmem_unuse_inode(&info->vfs_inode, type)

                                  mutex_lock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
                                  list_for_each_entry(info, next, ...)
                                   if (!info->swapped)
                                    list_del_init(&info->swaplist)

                                  ...
                                  mutex_unlock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)

  mutex_lock(&shmem_swaplist_mutex)
  /* iterate with offlist entry and encounter a dead loop */
  next = list_next_entry(info, swaplist);
  ...

Restart the iteration if the inode is already off shmem_swaplist list to
fix the issue.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
