[PATCH V2 04/11] frontswap: Get rid of swap_lock dependency

[Bob Liu <lliubbo@gmail.com>]

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want
to be atomic about frontswap's first appearance.
IOW, frontswap is not present and will fail all calls OR frontswap is
fully functional but if new swap_info_struct isn't registered
by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem doesn't start I/O so there is no
race
between init procedure and page I/O working on frontswap.

So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.

[v1: Rebased on my branch, reworked to work with backends loading late]
[v2: Added a check for !map]
[v3: Made the invalidate path follow the init path]
[v4: Address comments by Wanpeng Li <liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]
