As mentioned in the commit body, without O_LARGEFILE, file->f_op->write_iter
calls generic_write_check_limits(), which enforces the 2GB (MAX_NON_LFS) limit
and causes -EFBIG on large writes.

On 64-bit systems O_LARGEFILE is still set when opening files (e.g. via open()),
so we also need to set it here for shmem objects created inside the kernel.

However, on older 32-bit systems, setting O_LARGEFILE unconditionally may be risky.
Previously I did not check this, but to reduce the risk a safer approach is to wrap
it in a check, for example:

+	if (force_o_largefile())
+		filp->f_flags |= O_LARGEFILE;

Due to the previous return order in shmem_pwrite(), this -EFBIG was being overwritten
by -EIO on short writes. This issue will be fixed in PATCH 2/2.
