[04/18] MM: perform async writes to SWP_FS_OPS swap-space

Commit Message

Writes to SWP_FS_OPS swapspace is currently synchronous.  To make it
async we need to allocate the kiocb struct which may block, but won't
block as long as waiting for the write to complete would block.

Against a little helper for the SWP_FS_OPS case of __swap_writepage
would be nice.  But otherwise this looks good to me.
