Subject: mm/swapfile: do not sleep with a spin lock held

------------------------------------------------------
From: Qian Cai <qcai@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/swapfile: do not sleep with a spin lock held
We can't call kvfree() with a spin lock held, so defer it. Fixes a
might_sleep() runtime warning.
Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201202151549.10350-1-qcai@xxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 873d7bcfd066 ("mm/swapfile.c: use kvzalloc for swap_info_struct allocation")
