shmem: add support to ignore swap

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap
becomes a useful mechanism.  One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is
you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we
can instead use shmem.  Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but
just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to
avoid it if we can easily add support for it.

I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we
really wanted to we can add support for that.

To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and
put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.
