mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff
Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.
