[PATCH 1/4] swap: Cleanup how special swap file numbers are defined

The SWP_HWPOISON and SWP_MIGRATION numbers are defined in
a fairly awkward way. Since they are stolen from the top
few values of the 1<<MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT bits, the values
themselves are calculated by taking the MAX_SWAPFILES value
(which is defined by subtraciting out all the available special
types), and re-adding all the other various special types.

However, in order to preserve the actual values when adding
new entries, one would have to re-add the new entries value
to all the type definitions. This gets ugly fast.

This patch tries to clean up how these values are defined so
its simpler to understand how they are calculated and makes it
easier add new special values.

This is done via a enum list which tracks the various special types
making the MAX_SWAPFILES definition much simpler. Then we just
define the special type as (MAX_SWAPFILES + <enum val>).

As long as the enum values are added to the top of the enum
instead of the bottom, the values for the types will be preserved.
