Subject: [PATCH -mm 5/6] mm: Print first block offset for swap areas

In order to use a swap file with swsusp we need to know the offset at which
its swap header is located.  However, the swap header is always located in the
first page block of the swap file and it's quite easy to make sys_swapon() print
the offset of the swap file's (or swap partition's) first page block.
