Replace swap_dirty_idx function with built-in one, because swap_dirty_idx does only a simple byte to byte swap. Since Spectre mitigations have made indirect function calls more expensive, and the default simple byte copies swap is implemented without them, an "optimized" custom swap function is now a waste of time as well as code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
