When VMA based swap readahead is introduced in commit

vma_swap_readahead" is defined to describe the readahead window.
Because we wanted to save the PTE entries in the struct at that time.
But after commit 4f8fcf4ced0b ("mm/swap: swap_vma_readahead() do the
pte_offset_map()"), we no longer save PTE entries in the struct. The
size of the struct becomes so small, that it's better to use the
fields of the struct directly. This can simplify the code to improve
the code readability. The line number of source code reduces too.

No functionality change is expected in this patch.

From a quick scan, you perform quite some unrelated changes that make the code harder to review than it should be. Consider separating any cleanups from the core change of removing the struct.
