Add a new genhd capability flag to serialize offsets
for swap partition. This flag is enabled for the gendisk of
the block device which will be used for saving the snapshot
of the hibernation image, based on a kernel parameter
"noswap_randomize". Serializing offset in swap partition
helps in improving hibernation resume time from bootloader.

This has abslutely nothing to do with the block layer, and should not
abuse the gendisk.
