Series mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks | expand

Commit Message

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

We are currently using different swap allocation algorithm for HDD and
non-HDD. This leads to the existence of a different set of locks, and
the code path is heavily bloated, causing difficulties for further
optimization and maintenance.

This commit removes all HDD swap allocation and related dead code,
and uses the cluster allocation algorithm instead.

The performance may drop temporarily, but this should be negligible:
The main advantage of the legacy HDD allocation algorithm is that it
tends to use continuous slots, but swap device gets fragmented quickly
anyway, and the attempt to use continuous slots will fail easily.

This commit also enables mTHP swap on HDD, which is expected to be
beneficial, and following commits will adapt and optimize the cluster
allocator for HDD.
