Currently, .fadvise() doesn't work well if page cache sharing is on
since shared inodes belong to a pseudo fs generated with init_pseudo(),
and sb->s_bdi is the default one &noop_backing_dev_info.
Then, generic_fadvise() will just behave as a no-op if sb->s_bdi is
&noop_backing_dev_info, but as the bdev fs (the bdev fs changes
inode_to_bdi() instead), it's actually NOT a pure memfs.
Let's generate a real bdi for erofs_ishare_mnt instead.
