mm: frontswap: invalidate expired data on a dup-store failure
commit fb993fa1a2f669215fa03a09eed7848f2663e336 upstream.
If a frontswap dup-store failed, it should invalidate the expired page
in the backend, or it could trigger some data corruption issue.
Such as:
1. use zswap as the frontswap backend with writeback feature
2. store a swap page(version_1) to entry A, success
3. dup-store a newer page(version_2) to the same entry A, fail
4. use __swap_writepage() write version_2 page to swapfile, success
5. zswap do shrink, writeback version_1 page to swapfile
6. version_2 page is overwrited by version_1, data corrupt.
This patch fixes this issue by invalidating expired data immediately
when meet a dup-store failure.
