claim_swapfile() currently keeps the inode locked when it is successful, or
the file is already swapfile (with -EBUSY). And, on the other error cases,
it does not lock the inode.

This inconsistency of the lock state and return value is quite confusing
and actually causing a bad unlock balance as below in the "bad_swap"
section of __do_sys_swapon().

This commit fixes this issue by moving the inode_lock() and IS_SWAPFILE
check out of claim_swapfile(). The inode is unlocked in
"bad_swap_unlock_inode" section, so that the inode is ensured to be
unlocked at "bad_swap". Thus, error handling codes after the locking now
jumps to "bad_swap_unlock_inode" instead of "bad_swap".

    but there are no more locks to release!

    other info that might help us debug this:
    no locks held by swapon/4294.

Look correct to me.

But I don't think this code at the end of sys_swapon():

	if (inode)
		inode_unlock(inode);

will ever execute?  `inode' is always NULL here?

On the successful case, inode is not NULL and unlocked here.
