Bob Liu b836aec53e ramfs: fix memleak on no-mmu arch
On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test.  The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.

The simple test file is like this:

  int main(void)
  {
	int i;
	key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);

	for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
		int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
		if (id == -1) {
			printf("shmget error\n");
		}
		if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
			printf("shm  rm error\n");
			return -1;
		}
	}
	printf("run ok...\n");
	return 0;
  }

And the result:

  root:/> free
               total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:         60320        17912        42408            0            0

After this patch the test result is:(no memleak anymore)
