Subject: [PATCH] ARC: Fix __swp_offset() implementation

We encode offset from swapcache page in __swp_entry() this way, see [1]:
| /* Encode swap {type,off} tuple into PTE
|  * We reserve 13 bits for 5-bit @type, keeping bits 12-5 zero, ensuring that
|  * PAGE_PRESENT is zero in a PTE holding swap "identifier"
|  */
| #define __swp_entry(type, off)	((swp_entry_t) { \
| 					((type) & 0x1f) | ((off) << 13) })

But decode in __swp_offset() as:
| #define __swp_offset(pte_lookalike)	((pte_lookalike).val << 13)
which is obviously wrong, we should ">> 13" instead.

This basically fixes swap usage on ARC finally.

| # mkswap /dev/sda2
|
| # swapon -a -e /dev/sda2
| Adding 500728k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-2 extents:1 across:500728k
|
| # free
|              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
| Mem:        765104      13456     751648       4736          8       4736
| -/+ buffers/cache:       8712     756392
| Swap:       500728          0     500728
