This the alloc_swap_scan_list() will scan the whole list or the first
cluster.
This reduces the repeat patterns of isolating a cluster then scanning
that cluster. As a result, cluster_alloc_swap_entry() is shorter and shallower.
No functional change.

This patch goes on top of Kairui's swap improve cluster scan series:
