Subject: [v3 PATCH 2/5] mm: memcontrol: add may_swap parameter to mem_cgroup_force_empty()

mem_cgroup_force_empty() will be reused by the following patch which
does memory reclaim when offlining.  It is unnecessary to do swap in that
path, but force_empty still needs keep intact since it is also used by
other usecases per Shakeel.

So, introduce may_swap parameter to mem_cgroup_force_empty().  This is
the preparation for the following patch.
