[PATCH -v2 1/2] mm, swap: Use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structure

[Huang, Ying]

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data
structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc.
Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal
kzalloc() may fail.  But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for
example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc.  So change
the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which
will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc()
failed.

The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not
changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is
used for it.  That makes it a little harder to change.
