My idea is something as below.  It's only build tested.

static void cluster_swap_free_nr(struct swap_info_struct *sis,
				 unsigned long offset, int nr_pages)
{
	struct swap_cluster_info *ci;
	DECLARE_BITMAP(to_free, BITS_PER_LONG) = { 0 };
	int i, nr;

	ci = lock_cluster_or_swap_info(sis, offset);
	while (nr_pages) {
		nr = min(BITS_PER_LONG, nr_pages);
		for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
			if (!__swap_entry_free_locked(sis, offset + i, 1))
				bitmap_set(to_free, i, 1);
		}
		if (!bitmap_empty(to_free, BITS_PER_LONG)) {
			unlock_cluster_or_swap_info(sis, ci);
			for_each_set_bit(i, to_free, BITS_PER_LONG)
				free_swap_slot(swp_entry(sis->type, offset + i));
			if (nr == nr_pages)
				return;
			bitmap_clear(to_free, 0, BITS_PER_LONG);
			ci = lock_cluster_or_swap_info(sis, offset);
		}
		offset += nr;
		nr_pages -= nr;
	}
	unlock_cluster_or_swap_info(sis, ci);
}

void swap_free_nr(swp_entry_t entry, int nr_pages)
{
	int nr;
	struct swap_info_struct *sis;
	unsigned long offset = swp_offset(entry);

	sis = _swap_info_get(entry);
	if (!sis)
		return;

	while (nr_pages >= 0) {
		nr = min_t(int, nr_pages, SWAPFILE_CLUSTER - offset % SWAPFILE_CLUSTER);
		cluster_swap_free_nr(sis, offset, nr);
		offset += nr;
		nr_pages -= nr;
	}
}
