Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: swap: update inuse_pages after all cleanups are done

In swap_range_free(), we update inuse_pages then do some cleanups (arch
invalidation, zswap invalidation, swap cache cleanups, etc). During
swapoff, try_to_unuse() uses inuse_pages to make sure all swap entries
are freed. Make sure we only update inuse_pages after we are done with
the cleanups.

In practice, this shouldn't matter, because swap_range_free() is called
with the swap info lock held, and the swapoff code will spin for that
lock after try_to_unuse() anyway.

The goal is to make it obvious and more future proof that once
try_to_unuse() returns, all cleanups are done. This also facilitates a
following zswap cleanup patch which uses this fact to simplify
zswap_swapoff().
