mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag
This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak.
But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg.

There are 2 kinds of references to swap.
 - reference from swap entry
 - reference from swap cache

Then,

 - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache.
  (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL

This counting logic have worked well for a long time.  But considering
that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[],
current usage of counter is not very good.

This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap
entry has a cache or not.  This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c
and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().
