Subject: [PATCH] memcg: set page->private before calling swap_readpage

The function swap_readpage() (and other functions it call) extracts swap
entry from page->private. However for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO, the kernel
skips the swapcache and thus we need to manually set the page->private
with the swap entry before calling swap_readpage().

Andrew, please squash this into "memcg: charge before adding to
swapcache on swapin" patch.
