[RFC v2 42/43] shmem: reduce time holding xa_lock when inserting pages

Rather than adding one page at a time to the page cache and taking the
page cache xarray lock each time, where possible add pages in bulk by
first populating an xarray node outside of the page cache before taking
the lock to insert it.
When a group of pages to be inserted will fill an xarray node, add them
to a local xarray, export the xarray node, and then take the lock on the
page cache xarray and insert the node.
