lib: radix-tree: native accounting of exceptional entries

The way the page cache is sneaking shadow entries of evicted pages into
the radix tree past the node entry accounting and tracking them manually
in the upper bits of node->count is fraught with problems.

These shadow entries are marked in the tree as exceptional entries,
which are a native concept to the radix tree.  Maintain an explicit
counter of exceptional entries in the radix tree node.  Subsequent
patches will switch shadow entry tracking over to that counter.

DAX and shmem are the other users of exceptional entries.  Since slot
replacements that change the entry type from regular to exceptional must
now be accounted, introduce a __radix_tree_replace() function that does
replacement and accounting, and switch DAX and shmem over.

The increase in radix tree node size is temporary.  A followup patch
switches the shadow tracking to this new scheme and we'll no longer need
the upper bits in node->count and shrink that back to one byte.
