Improve the error handling when writes fail to a swap page.
Currently, the kernel will repeatedly retry the write which is unlikely to ever succeed. Instead we allow the pages to be unused and then marked as bad at which prevents reuse. It should hopefully be suitable for testing in -mm.
These patches are a based on a patch by Nick Piggin and some of my own patches/bugfixes as discussed on LKML.
