Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm/swapfile: make security_vm_enough_memory_mm() work as expected

security_vm_enough_memory_mm() checks whether a process has enough memory
to allocate a new virtual mapping. And total_swap_pages is considered as
available memory while swapoff tries to make sure there's enough memory
that can hold the swapped out memory. But total_swap_pages contains the
swap space that is being swapoff. So security_vm_enough_memory_mm() will
success even if there's no memory to hold the swapped out memory because
total_swap_pages always greater than or equal to p->pages.

In order to fix it, p->pages should be retracted from total_swap_pages
first and then check whether there's enough memory for inuse swap pages.
