Commit 13ddaf26be32 ("mm/swap: fix race when skipping swapcache")
introduced an unconditional one-tick sleep when `swapcache_prepare()`
fails, which has led to reports of UI stuttering on latency-sensitive
Android devices. To address this, we can use a waitqueue to wake up
tasks that fail `swapcache_prepare()` sooner, instead of always
sleeping for a full tick. While tasks may occasionally be woken by an
unrelated `do_swap_page()`, this method is preferable to two scenarios:
rapid re-entry into page faults, which can cause livelocks, and
multiple millisecond sleeps, which visibly degrade user experience.
Oven's testing shows that a single waitqueue resolves the UI
stuttering issue. If a 'thundering herd' problem becomes apparent
later, a waitqueue hash similar to `folio_wait_table[PAGE_WAIT_TABLE_SIZE]`
for page bit locks can be introduced.
