tmpfs: fix shmem_getpage_gfp VM_BUG_ON

Fuzzing with trinity hit the "impossible" VM_BUG_ON(error) (which Fedora
has converted to WARNING) in shmem_getpage_gfp():

WARNING: at mm/shmem.c:1151 shmem_getpage_gfp+0xa5c/0xa70()

Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache() only
does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since before
confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.

What cleanup is needed in this case?  Just delete_from_swap_cache(), which
takes care of the memcg uncharge.
