hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation
When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly
called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC.  Hence swap misusage during
hibernation never occurs.

But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page
allcation has __GFP_WAIT.  It is better to have a global indication "we
enter hibernation, don't use swap!".

This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation.  (All
user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern).

This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between
hibernate_snapshot() and save_image().  Swap is thawed when swsusp_free()
is called.  We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur.
