Okay, here is what I've come up with. It doesn't touch shmem code, but
hooks up directly into memory-failure.c. It is still ugly, but should be
tolerable.

restrictedmem_error_page() loops over all restrictedmem inodes. It is
slow, but memory failure is not hot path (I hope).

Only build-tested. Chao, could you hook up ->error for KVM and get it
tested?
