[PATCH v4 6/7] mm/swap: Cache maximum swapfile size when init swap

We used to have swapfile_maximum_size() fetching a maximum value of
swapfile size per-arch.

As the caller of max_swapfile_size() grows, this patch introduce a variable
"swapfile_maximum_size" and cache the value of old max_swapfile_size(), so
that we don't need to calculate the value every time.

Caching the value in swapfile_init() is safe because when reaching the
phase we should have initialized all the relevant information. Here the
major arch to take care of is x86, which defines the max swapfile size
based on L1TF mitigation.

Here both X86_BUG_L1TF or l1tf_mitigation should have been setup properly
when reaching swapfile_init(). As a reference, the code path looks like
this for x86:

- start_kernel
- setup_arch
- early_cpu_init
- early_identify_cpu --> setup X86_BUG_L1TF
- parse_early_param
- l1tf_cmdline --> set l1tf_mitigation
- check_bugs
- l1tf_select_mitigation --> set l1tf_mitigation
- arch_call_rest_init
- rest_init
- kernel_init
- kernel_init_freeable
- do_basic_setup
- do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4)

The swapfile size only depends on swp pte format on non-x86 archs, so
caching it is safe too.

Since at it, rename max_swapfile_size() to arch_max_swapfile_size() because
arch can define its own function, so it's more straightforward to have
"arch_" as its prefix. At the meantime, export swapfile_maximum_size to
replace the old usages of max_swapfile_size().
