[PATCH v2 1/3] mm/zswap: don't return LRU_SKIP if we have dropped lru lock

[Chengming Zhou]

LRU_SKIP can only be returned if we don't ever dropped lru lock, or
we need to return LRU_RETRY to restart from the head of lru list.

Otherwise, the iteration might continue from a cursor position that
was freed while the locks were dropped.

Actually we may need to introduce another LRU_STOP to really terminate
the ongoing shrinking scan process, when we encounter a warm page
already in the swap cache. The current list_lru implementation
doesn't have this function to early break from __list_lru_walk_one.
