Linux kernel source tree

We are currently using different swap allocation algorithm for HDD and non-HDD. This leads to the existence of a different set of locks, and the code path is heavily bloated, causing difficulties for further optimization and maintenance. This commit removes all HDD swap allocation and related dead code, and uses the cluster allocation algorithm instead. The performance may drop temporarily, but this should be negligible: The main advantage of the legacy HDD allocation algorithm is that it tends to use continuous slots, but swap device gets fragmented quickly anyway, and the attempt to use continuous slots will fail easily. This commit also enables mTHP swap on HDD, which is expected to be beneficial, and following commits will adapt and optimize the cluster allocator for HDD.

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.
