[PATCH] fix free swap cache latency
Lee Revell reported 28ms latency when process with lots of swapped memory
exits.
2.6.15 introduced a latency regression when unmapping: in accounting the
zap_work latency breaker, pte_none counted 1, pte_present PAGE_SIZE, but a
swap entry counted nothing at all. We think of pages present as the slow
case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup
can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of
times without a latency break.
Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present.
This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range
skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick:
but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're
treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).
