#1673315 — [PATCH -mm -v2 01/12] mm, THP, swap: Support to clear swap cache flag for THP swapped out

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>

Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split.  In this patch, it
is enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.

This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out
support.  Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet,
after clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP
swapped out will be split.  So that the swap slots in the swap cluster
can be swapped in as normal pages later.
