huge tmpfs: remove shrinklist addition from shmem_setattr()
There's a block of code in shmem_setattr() to add the inode to shmem_unused_huge_shrink()'s shrinklist when lowering i_size: it dates from before 5.7 changed truncation to do split_huge_page() for itself, and should have been removed at that time. I am over-stating that: split_huge_page() can fail (notably if there's an extra reference to the page at that time), so there might be value in retrying. But there were already retries as truncation worked through the tails, and this addition risks repeating unsuccessful retries indefinitely: I'd rather remove it now, and work on reducing the chance of split_huge_page() failures separately, if we need to.
