Subject[PATCHv2 7/9] mm: break up swap_writepage() for frontswap backends
Date
swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap
write path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function.
However, if a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of
a page to the swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as
the page will simply reenter the backend.

This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the
bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend,
like zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook and
by notified when the writeback completes.
