mm: refactor reinsert of swap_info in sys_swapoff()

The block within sys_swapoff() which re-inserts the swap_info into the
swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() reads a few values outside
the swap_lock.  While this is safe at that point, it is subtle code.

Simplify the code by moving the reading of these values to a separate
function, refactoring it a bit so they are read from within the swap_lock.
 This is easier to understand, and matches better the way it worked before
I unified the insertion of the swap_info from both sys_swapon and
sys_swapoff.

This change should make no functional difference.  The only real change is
moving the read of two or three structure fields to within the lock
(frontswap_map_get() is nothing more than a read of p->frontswap_map).
