  This eliminates a check for shared that was overrestrictive and
duplicated a check in generic_file_readonly_mmap.

generic_file_readonly_mmap checks for VM_SHARED + VM_MAYWRITE,
so it isn't exactly "duplicating" the check.. But I agree we don't need
it; we used to have the mmap op be generic_file_readonly_mmap directly
previously.

I'd argue we don't need to invalidate inode pages either if there is no
writeback cache, there shouldn't be anything in it? but that can be done
separately, and extra invalidation won't bring harm anyway.

It should be removed from the commit log then though.

Unnecessary performance penalty? So I would drop that in a separate patch.
