Also add frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. We don't tie these to CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to avoid unnecessary clutter around various frontswap hooks.
