Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.
But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory
space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition
meet. It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory
swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.
This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
written out the swap device to reclaim it. It means we never lose it.
I tested this patch with kernel compile workload.
1. before
compile time : 9882.42
zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 13471881 byte
memory space consumed by zram: 174227456 byte
the number of slot free notify: 206684
2. after
compile time : 9653.90
zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 11805932 byte
memory space consumed by zram: 154001408 byte
the number of slot free notify: 426972
