[patch 2/6] mm: simplify filemap_nopage

[Nick Piggin]

Identical block is duplicated twice: contrary to the comment, we have been
re-reading the page *twice* in filemap_nopage rather than once.

If any retry logic or anything is needed, it belongs in lower levels anyway.
Only retry once. Linus agrees.
