mm: frontswap: swap data structure changes

This first patch of four in the frontswap series 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.

Also add 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.

[v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4]
[v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: frontswap_pages should be atomic_t]
[v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters]
[v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3]
[v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd]
[v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1]
[v5: no change from v4]
[v4: rebase to 2.6.39]
