Rik van Riel e1e4cfd01a mm,tmpfs: consider end of file write in shmem_is_huge ...

Take the end of a file write into consideration when deciding whether or
not to use huge pages for tmpfs files when the tmpfs filesystem is mounted
with huge=within_size

This allows large writes that append to the end of a file to automatically
use large pages.

Doing 4MB sequential writes without fallocate to a 16GB tmpfs file with
fio.  The numbers without THP or with huge=always stay the same, but the
performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always.

huge		before		after
4kB pages	1560 MB/s	1560 MB/s
within_size	1560 MB/s	4720 MB/s
always:		4720 MB/s	4720 MB/s
