swap_slot_free_notify callback has been added to block_device_operations to
allow freeing memory allocated by RAM-based swap device like zram or zswap
more aggressively.
In case of device mapper, it is also required if mapped target is being
used as swap device and it uses some in-memory metadata for swap entries.
This patch introduces swap_slot_free_notify callback into dm_blk_ops and
target device can implement its own handler to handle this via
slot_free_notify in target_type.
