mm: make swapin readahead skip over holes
Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability
reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before. This
can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space
ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective.
On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to
page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down
to a crawl.
This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of
stopping at them. This allows the system to swap things back in at rates
of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second.
The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in
read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of
code.
