vfs_getattr is needed to query inode attributes for unknown underlying file systems. But shmemfs is well known for users of shmem_file_setup and shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp that rely on it not needing specific inode revalidation and having a normal mapping. Remove the detour through the getattr method and an extra wrapper, and just read the inode size and i_bytes directly in the scrub tracing code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
