swap: do not send discards as barriers

commit 8f2ae0faa3a119158c4dcfe89926d6fad5f5332c upstream.

The swap code already uses synchronous discards, no need to add I/O
barriers.

This fixes the worst of the terrible slowdown in swap allocation for
hibernation, reported on 2.6.35 by Nigel Cunningham; but does not entirely
eliminate that regression.
