Hugh Dickins 14fcc23fdc tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode 
SuSE's insserve initscript ordering program hits kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:814
on 2.6.26.  It's using posix_fadvise on directories, and the shmem_readpage
method added in 2.6.23 is letting POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED allocate useless pages
to a tmpfs directory, incrementing i_blocks count but never decrementing it.

Fix this by assigning shmem_aops (pointing to readpage and writepage and
set_page_dirty) only when it's needed, on a regular file or a long symlink.

Many thanks to Kel for outstanding bugreport and steps to reproduce it.
