Is dropping shmem_punch_compound() really safe? AFAICS it can also call
split_huge_page() which will try to split THP to be able to truncate it.
That being said there's another loop in shmem_undo_range() which will try
again so what you did might make a difference with performance but not much
else. But still it would be good to at least comment about this in the
changelog...
