Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/7] make 'struct page' and swp_entry_t variants of swapcache_free().


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

swapcache_free() takes two arguments:

	void swapcache_free(swp_entry_t entry, struct page *page)

Most of its callers (5/7) are from error handling paths haven't even
instantiated a page, so they pass page=NULL.  Both of the callers
that call in with a 'struct page' create and pass in a temporary
swp_entry_t.

Now that we are deferring clearing page_private() until after
swapcache_free() has been called, we can just create a variant
that takes a 'struct page' and does the temporary variable in
the helper.

That leaves all the other callers doing

	swapcache_free(entry, NULL)

so create another helper for them that makes it clear that they
need only pass in a swp_entry_t.

One downside here is that delete_from_swap_cache() now does
an extra swap_address_space() call.  But, those are pretty
cheap (just some array index arithmetic).
