shmem_getpage return page locked

In the new aops, write_begin is supposed to return the page locked: though
I've seen no ill effects, that's been overlooked in the case of
shmem_write_begin, and should be fixed.  Then shmem_write_end must unlock the
page: do so _after_ updating i_size, as we found to be important in other
filesystems (though since shmem pages don't go the usual writeback route, they
never suffered from that corruption).

For shmem_write_begin to return the page locked, we need shmem_getpage to
return the page locked in SGP_WRITE case as well as SGP_CACHE case: let's
simplify the interface and return it locked even when SGP_READ.
