Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm/swap: remove swap_cache_info statistics

swap_cache_info are not statistics that could be easily used to tune system
performance because they are not easily accessile. Also they can't provide
really useful info when OOM occurs. Remove these statistics can also help
mitigate unneeded global swap_cache_info cacheline contention.
