When CONFIG_SHMEM is not set, the following compiler error occurs:
ld: vmlinux.o: in function `ttm_backup_backup_page':
(.text+0x10363bc): undefined reference to `shmem_writeout'
make[3]: *** [/work/build/trace/nobackup/linux.git/scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:91: vmlinux.unstripped] Error 1
This is due to the replacement of writepage and calling swap_writeout()
and shmem_writeout() directly. The issue is that when CONFIG_SHMEM is
not defined, shmem_writeout() is also not defined.
The function ttm_backup_backup_page() called mapping->a_ops->writepage()
which was then changed to call shmem_writeout() directly.
Even before commit
84798514db50 ("mm: Remove swap_writepage() and
shmem_writepage()"), it didn't make sense to call anything other than
shmem_writeout() as the ttm_backup deals only with shmem folios.
Have DRM_TTM config option select SHMEM to guarantee that
shmem_writeout() is available.
