Subject[PATCH v2 7/8] mm/swap: Add cache for swap slots allocation
Date
We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed
quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock.

Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and
swap slots returned. This is to allow the swap slots to be returned
to the global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be
coaelesced with other slots in a cluster. We do not reuse the slots
that are returned right away, as it may increase fragmentation
of the slots.

The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep
when searching for empty slots in cache. The swap free cache
is protected by a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path.

We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we
disable the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global
number of slots fall below a low watermark threshold. We re-enable the cache
agian when the slots available are above a high watermark.
