Hi Chris,

Thanks for this very nice clean up, the code is much easier to read.

This whole scan_swap_map_ssd_cluster_conflict function seems not
needed now. free_clusters is a double linked list, so using a cluster
in the middle won't corrupt the list. The comments are still for the
old list design.

Shouldn't this list_del also be protected by ci->lock? It was
protected in alloc_cluster before, keeping the flag synced with
cluster status so cluster_is_free won't return false positive.
