Subject: [PATCH 10/12] mm, swap: no need to truncate the scan border

From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>

swap_map had a static flexible size, so the last cluster won't be fully
covered, hence the allocator needs to check the scan border to avoid
OOB. But the swap table has a fixed-sized swap table for each cluster,
and the slots beyond the device size are marked as bad slots. The
allocator can simply scan all slots as usual, and any bad slots will be
skipped.
