Subject: memcg: memswap controller core swapcache fixes
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Two SwapCache bug fixes to mmotm's memcg-memswap-controller-core.patch:
One bug is independent of my current changes: there is no guarantee that
the page passed to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() is still in SwapCache.
The other bug is a consequence of my changes, but the fix is okay without
them: mem_cgroup_commit_charge_swapin() expects swp_entry in
page->private, but now reuse_swap_page() (formerly can_share_swap_page())
might already have done delete_from_swap_cache(): move
commit_charge_swapin() earlier.
