This patch switches swap-out to SWP_FS_OPS swap-spaces to use ->swap_rw and makes the writes asynchronous, like they are for other swap spaces. To make it async we need to allocate the kiocb struct from a mempool. This may block, but won't block as long as waiting for the write to complete. At most it will wait for some previous swap IO to complete.

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.
