mm: swap: add comments to lock_cluster_or_swap_info()

Patch series "swap: THP optimizing refactoring", v4.

Now the THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap optimizing is implemented in the
way like below,

  #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP
  huge_function(...)
  {
  }
  #else
  normal_function(...)
  {
  }
  #endif

  general_function(...)
  {
  	if (huge)
  		return thp_function(...);
	else
  		return normal_function(...);
  }

As pointed out by Dave Hansen, this will,

1. Create a new, wholly untested code path for huge page
2. Create two places to patch bugs
3. Are not reusing code when possible

This patchset is to address these problems via merging huge/normal code
path/functions if possible.

One concern is that this may cause code size to dilate when
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.  The data shows that most refactoring will
only cause quite slight code size increase.

This patch (of 8):

To improve code readability.
