Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/zswap: invalidate old entry when store fail or !zswap_enabled

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@...edance.com>

We may encounter duplicate entry in the zswap_store():

1. swap slot that freed to per-cpu swap cache, doesn't invalidate
   the zswap entry, then got reused. This has been fixed.

2. !exclusive load mode, swapin folio will leave its zswap entry
   on the tree, then swapout again. This has been removed.

3. one folio can be dirtied again after zswap_store(), so need to
   zswap_store() again. This should be handled correctly.

So we must invalidate the old duplicate entry before insert the
new one, which actually doesn't have to be done at the beginning
of zswap_store(). And this is a normal situation, we shouldn't
WARN_ON(1) in this case, so delete it. (The WARN_ON(1) seems want
to detect swap entry UAF problem? But not very necessary here.)

The good point is that we don't need to lock tree twice in the
store success path.

Note we still need to invalidate the old duplicate entry in the
store failure path, otherwise the new data in swapfile could be
overwrite by the old data in zswap pool when lru writeback.

We have to do this even when !zswap_enabled since zswap can be
disabled anytime. If the folio store success before, then got
dirtied again but zswap disabled, we won't invalidate the old
duplicate entry in the zswap_store(). So later lru writeback
may overwrite the new data in swapfile.

v3:
 - Fix a few grammatical problems in comments, per Yosry.

v2:
 - Change the duplicate entry invalidation loop to if, since we hold
   the lock, we won't find it once we invalidate it, per Yosry.
 - Add Fixes tag.
