mm: introduce ->swap_rw and use it for reads from SWP_FS_OPS swap-space

swap currently uses ->readpage to read swap pages.  This can only request
one page at a time from the filesystem, which is not most efficient.

swap uses ->direct_IO for writes which while this is adequate is an
inappropriate over-loading.  ->direct_IO may need to had handle allocate
space for holes or other details that are not relevant for swap.

So this patch introduces a new address_space operation: ->swap_rw.  In
this patch it is used for reads, and a subsequent patch will switch writes
to use it.

No filesystem yet supports ->swap_rw, but that is not a problem because
no filesystem actually works with filesystem-based swap.
Only two filesystems set SWP_FS_OPS:
- cifs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO always fails so swap cannot work.
- nfs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO calls generic_write_checks()
  which has failed on swap files for several releases.

To ensure that a NULL ->swap_rw isn't called, ->activate_swap() for both
NFS and cifs are changed to fail if ->swap_rw is not set.  This can be
removed if/when the function is added.

Future patches will restore swap-over-NFS functionality.

To submit an async read with ->swap_rw() we need to allocate a structure
to hold the kiocb and other details.  swap_readpage() cannot handle
transient failure, so we create a mempool to provide the structures.
