mm: swap: check if swap backing device is congested or not

Browse Source 
Swap readahead would read in a few pages regardless if the underlying
device is busy or not.  It may incur long waiting time if the device is
congested, and it may also exacerbate the congestion.

Use inode_read_congested() to check if the underlying device is busy or
not like what file page readahead does.  Get inode from
swap_info_struct.

Although we can add inode information in swap_address_space
(address_space->host), it may lead some unexpected side effect, i.e.  it
may break mapping_cap_account_dirty().  Using inode from
swap_info_struct seems simple and good enough.

Just does the check in vma_cluster_readahead() since
swap_vma_readahead() is just used for non-rotational device which much
less likely has congestion than traditional HDD.

Although swap slots may be consecutive on swap partition, it still may
be fragmented on swap file.  This check would help to reduce excessive
stall for such case.

The test with page_fault1 of will-it-scale (sometimes tracing may just
show runtest.py that is the wrapper script of page_fault1), which
basically launches NR_CPU threads to generate 128MB anonymous pages for
each thread, on my virtual machine with congested HDD shows long tail
latency is reduced significantly.
