Current allocation workflow first traverses the plist with a global lock held, after choosing a device, it uses the percpu cluster on that swap device. This commit moves the percpu cluster variable out of being tied to individual swap devices, making it a global percpu variable, and will be used directly for allocation as a fast path. The global percpu cluster variable will never point to a HDD device, and allocations on a HDD device are still globally serialized. This improves the allocator performance and prepares for removal of the slot cache in later commits. There shouldn't be much observable behavior change, except one thing: this changes how swap device allocation rotation works. Currently, each allocation will rotate the plist, and because of the existence of slot cache (one order 0 allocation usually returns 64 entries), swap devices of the same priority are rotated for every 64 order 0 entries consumed. High order allocations are different, they will bypass the slot cache, and so swap device is rotated for every 16K, 32K, or up to 2M allocation. The rotation rule was never clearly defined or documented, it was changed several times without mentioning. After this commit, and once slot cache is gone in later commits, swap device rotation will happen for every consumed cluster. Ideally non-HDD devices will be rotated if 2M space has been consumed for each order. Fragmented clusters will rotate the device faster, which seems OK. HDD devices is rotated for every allocation regardless of the allocation order, which should be OK too and trivial. This commit also slightly changes allocation behaviour for slot cache. The new added cluster allocation fast path may allocate entries from different device to the slot cache, this is not observable from user space, only impact performance very slightly, and slot cache will be just gone in next commit, so this can be ignored.

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 reStructuredText 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.
