huge tmpfs: SGP_NOALLOC to stop collapse_file() on race

khugepaged's collapse_file() currently uses SGP_NOHUGE to tell
shmem_getpage() not to try allocating a huge page, in the very unlikely
event that a racing hole-punch removes the swapped or fallocated page as
soon as i_pages lock is dropped.

We want to consolidate shmem's huge decisions, removing SGP_HUGE and
SGP_NOHUGE; but cannot quite persuade ourselves that it's okay to regress
the protection in this case - Yang Shi points out that the huge page would
remain indefinitely, charged to root instead of the intended memcg.

collapse_file() should not even allocate a small page in this case: why
proceed if someone is punching a hole?  SGP_READ is almost the right flag
here, except that it optimizes away from a fallocated page, with NULL to
tell caller to fill with zeroes (like a hole); whereas collapse_file()'s
sequence relies on using a cache page.  Add SGP_NOALLOC just for this.

There are too many consecutive "if (page"s there in shmem_getpage_gfp():
group it better; and fix the outdated "bring it back from swap" comment.
