mm: add_to_swap_cache() does not return -EEXIST
After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"), only the context which have set SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag by swapcache_prepare() or get_swap_page() would call add_to_swap_cache(). So add_to_swap_cache() doesn't return -EEXIST any more. Even though it doesn't return -EEXIST, it's not good behavior conceptually to call swapcache_prepare() in the -EEXIST case, because it means clearing SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag while the entry is on swap cache. This patch removes redundant codes and comments from callers of it, and adds VM_BUG_ON() in error path of add_to_swap_cache() and some comments.
