In a previous commit, we added the mfill_atomic_install_pte() helper. This helper does the job of setting up PTEs for an existing page, to map it into a given VMA. It deals with both the anon and shmem cases, as well as the shared and private cases.
In other words, shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() duplicates a case it already handles. So, expose it, and let shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() use it directly, to reduce code duplication.
This requires that we refactor shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() a bit:
Instead of doing accounting (shmem_recalc_inode() et al) part-way through the PTE setup, do it afterward. This frees up mfill_atomic_install_pte() from having to care about this accounting, and means we don't need to e.g. shmem_uncharge() in the error path.
A side effect is this switches shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() to use lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() instead of just lru_cache_add(). This wrapper does some extra accounting in an exceptional case, if appropriate, so it's actually the more correct thing to use.

(The moving of "ret = -ENOMEM" seems unnecessary, but not a big deal I think)
