mm: swapfile: fix SSD detection with swapfile on btrfs
We've been noticing a trend of significant lock contention in the swap subsystem as core counts have been increasing in our fleet. It turns out that our swapfiles on btrfs on flash were in fact using the old swap code for rotational storage. This turns out to be a detection issue in the swapon sequence: btrfs sets si->bdev during swap activation, which currently happens *after* swapon's SSD detection and cluster setup. Thus, none of the SSD optimizations and cluster lock splitting are enabled for btrfs swap. Rearrange the swapon sequence so that filesystem activation happens *before* determining swap behavior based on the backing device. Afterwards, the nonrotational drive is detected correctly: - Adding 2097148k swap on /mnt/swapfile. Priority:-3 extents:1 across:2097148k + Adding 2097148k swap on /mnt/swapfile.
