Revert "staging: zcache: fix cleancache race condition with shrinker"

This reverts commit 895615b87bf0a9a3ded45ce4a08fc7e61e163527.
old bug in htree_dirblock_to_tree()

Both ext3 and ext4 htree_dirblock_to_tree() is just filling
the in-core rbtree for use by call_filldir().  All updates of
->f_pos are done by the latter; bumping it here (on error) is obviously
wrong - we might very well have it nowhere near the block we'd found
an error in.

mm: frontswap: add frontswap header file

Frontswap is the alter ego of cleancache, the "yang" to cleancache's
"yin"... and more precisely frontswap is the provider of anonymous
pages to transcendent memory to nicely complement cleancache's providing
of clean pagecache pages to transcendent memory.  For optimal use
of transcendent memory, both are necessary... because a kernel
under memory pressure first reclaims clean pagecache pages and,
when under more memory pressure, starts swapping anonymous pages.

Frontswap and cleancache (which was merged at 3.0) are the only
necessary changes to the core kernel for transcendent memory; all
other supporting code is implemented as drivers.  See "Transcendent
memory in a nutshell" for a current (Aug 2011) and detailed overview of
frontswap and related kernel parts: https://lwn.net/Articles/454795/

Frontswap code was first posted publicly in January 2009 and on LKML
in May 2009, and has remained very stable for over two years now.
It is barely invasive, touching only the swap subsystem and adds only
about 100 lines of code to existing swap subsystem code files.
It has improved syntactically substantially between V1 and this posting
of V10, thanks to the review of a few kernel developers, and has adapted
easily to at least one major swap subsystem change.  As of 3.1, there are
two in-tree users of frontswap patiently waiting for this patchset and for
CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to be enabled: zcache (staging driver merged at
2.6.39) and Xen tmem (merged at 3.0 and 3.1).  V5 of the frontswap
patchset has been in linux-next since next-110603 (and this V10
will be there shortly).  Earlier versions of frontswap already appear
in some leading-edge distros.

This first patch of six in this frontswap series provides the header
file for the core code for frontswap that interfaces between the hooks
in the swap subsystem and a frontswap backend via frontswap_ops.
(Note to earlier reviewers:  This patchset has been reorganized due to
feedback from Kame Hiroyuki and Andrew Morton. This patch contains part
of patch 3of4 from the previous series.)

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers

(Note to earlier reviewers:  This patchset has been reorganized due to
feedback from Kame Hiroyuki and Andrew Morton. This patch combines patch
1of4 and patch 3of4 from the previous series.)

This second patch of six in the frontswap series contains the changes
to the core swap subsystem.  This includes:

(1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and
swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them
to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h
just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static

(2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct.  Frontswap_map
points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates
whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages
counts how many pages are in frontswap.

(3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that
frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".

Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted
by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk.

staging: zcache: crypto API support

This patch allow zcache to use the crypto API for page compression.
It replaces the direct LZO compress/decompress calls with calls
into the crypto compression API. The compressor to be used is
specified in the kernel boot line with the zcache parameter like:
zcache=lzo or zcache=deflate.  If the specified compressor can't
be loaded, zcache uses lzo as the default compressor.

staging: zcache: avoid AB-BA deadlock condition

Commit 9256a47 fixed a deadlock condition, being sure that the buddy
list spinlock is always taken before the page spinlock.

However in zbud_free_and_delist() locking order is the opposite
(page lock -> list lock).

Possible unsafe locking scenario (reported by lockdep):

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(&(&zbpg->lock)->rlock);
                                lock(zbud_budlists_spinlock);
                                lock(&(&zbpg->lock)->rlock);
   lock(zbud_budlists_spinlock);

Fix by grabbing the locks in opposite order in zbud_free_and_delist().
