Change frontswap single pointer to a singly linked list of frontswap
implementations. Update Xen tmem implementation as register no longer
returns anything.
Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any implementation
that registers second (or later) will replace the previously registered
implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous implementation that
the new implementation is expected to pass all frontswap functions to
if it can't handle the function itself. However that method doesn't
really make much sense, as passing that work on to every implementation
adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead, frontswap should
simply keep a list of all registered implementations and try each
implementation for any function. Most importantly, neither of the
two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel actually
do anything with any previous frontswap implementation that they
replace when registering.
This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations
by keeping a list of them all.
