mm/swap: also use struct swap_iocb for block I/O

Browse source

Block I/O benefits from batching just as much as remote file systems. 
Extend struct swap_iocb to support building a bio on the fly as well, and
rewrite the block based swap code for it.  This especially benefits
submit_bio based drivers that do not have the block plugging available,
but also saves allocating extra bios for blk-mq drivers.

Add a pre-allocated bio to struct swap_iocb in a union with kiocb used for
file system based swap so that struct swap_iocb can be used for all swap
I/O, and initialize the pool for it unconditionally.

Various low-level bdev and fs functions are now replaced with a unified
can_merge/add/submit scheme.

Note that the block based swap code now uses the same memcg-based check
previously added for file system based swap as well.
