mm: add_to_swap_cache() must not sleep

After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"),
read_swap_cache_async() will busy-wait while a entry doesn't exist in swap
cache but it has SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag.

Such entries can exist on add/delete path of swap cache.  On add path,
add_to_swap_cache() is called soon after SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is set, and
on delete path, swapcache_free() will be called (SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is
cleared) soon after __delete_from_swap_cache() is called.  So, the
busy-wait works well in most cases.

But this mechanism can cause soft lockup if add_to_swap_cache() sleeps and
read_swap_cache_async() tries to swap-in the same entry on the same cpu.

This patch calls radix_tree_preload() before swapcache_prepare() and
divides add_to_swap_cache() into two part: radix_tree_preload() part and
radix_tree_insert() part(define it as __add_to_swap_cache()).
