shmem: shmem_writepage() split unlikely i915 THP

it looks THP + shmem_writeback was an unexpected combination, and ends up
hitting some BUG_ON, but it also looks like that is now fixed.

While the IGTs did eventually hit this(although not during pre-merge it
seems), it's likely worthwhile adding some explicit coverage for this
scenario in the shrink_thp selftest.

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_shmem.c contains a shmem_writeback()
which calls shmem_writepage() from a shrinker: that usually works well
enough; but if /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled has been
set to "always" (intended to be usable) or "force" (forces huge everywhere
for easy testing), shmem_writepage() is surprised to be called with a huge
page, and crashes on the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound) (I did not find out
where the crash happens when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is off).

LRU page reclaim always splits the shmem huge page first: I'd prefer not
to demand that of i915, so check and split compound in shmem_writepage().

Matthew Wilcox noticed that tail pages were wrongly left clean. This
version brackets the split with Set and Clear PageDirty as he suggested:
which works very well, even if it falls short of our aspirations. And
recently I realized that the crash is not limited to the testing option
"force", but affects "always" too: which is more important to fix.
