Huang Ying c2343d2761 mm/swapfile.c: put_swap_page: share more between huge/normal code path
In this patch, locking related code is shared between huge/normal code
path in put_swap_page() to reduce code duplication. The `free_entries == 0`
case is merged into the more general `free_entries != SWAPFILE_CLUSTER`
case, because the new locking method makes it easy.

The added lines is same as the removed lines.  But the code size is
increased when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n.

		text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
base:	       24123	   2004	    340	  26467	   6763	mm/swapfile.o
unified:       24485	   2004	    340	  26829	   68cd	mm/swapfile.o

Dig on step deeper with `size -A mm/swapfile.o` for base and unified
kernel and compare the result, yields,

  -.text                                17723      0
  +.text                                17835      0
  -.orc_unwind_ip                        1380      0
  +.orc_unwind_ip                        1480      0
  -.orc_unwind                           2070      0
  +.orc_unwind                           2220      0
  -Total                                26686
  +Total                                27048

The total difference is the same.  The text segment difference is much
smaller: 112.  More difference comes from the ORC unwinder segments:
(1480 + 2220) - (1380 + 2070) = 250.  If the frame pointer unwinder is
used, this costs nothing.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
