mm: reuse unused swap entry if necessary
Presently we can know a swap entry is just used as SwapCache via swap_map,
without looking up swap cache.
Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in
get_swap_pages().
This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not
enough.
Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free
cluster. Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel
to reclaim unused swap.
