[RFC 1/4] include/linux/swap.h: Remove unused leftovers

From: Ritesh Harjani (IBM)

Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 09:20:08 EST


This removed unused leftovers most of them are forward structure
declarations. Also removes SWAP_BATCH macro which isn't used any
where in the code.

Found these during manual code review.
