mm/swap: fix race on swap_info reuse between swapoff and swapon
swapoff clear swap_info's SWP_USED flag prematurely and free its resources after that. A concurrent swapon will reuse this swap_info while its previous resources are not cleared completely. These late freed resources are: - p->percpu_cluster - swap_cgroup_ctrl[type] - block_device setting - inode->i_flags &= ~S_SWAPFILE This patch clears the SWP_USED flag after all its resources are freed, so that swapon can reuse this swap_info by alloc_swap_info() safely.
