mm/swap: fix race on swap_info reuse between swapoff and swapon
swapoff clear swap_info's SWP_USED flag prematurely and free its
resources after that. A concurrent swapon will reuse this swap_info
while its previous resources are not cleared completely.
These late freed resources are:
- p->percpu_cluster
- swap_cgroup_ctrl[type]
- block_device setting
- inode->i_flags &= ~S_SWAPFILE
This patch clears the SWP_USED flag after all its resources are freed,
so that swapon can reuse this swap_info by alloc_swap_info() safely.
