It introduces a new function, alloc_swap_scan_list(), for swapfile.c.
It also cleans up swap.h by removing comments that reference fields that
have been deleted.
There are no functional changes in this two-patch series.
This patch (of 2):
alloc_swap_scan_list() will scan the whole list or the first cluster.
This reduces the repeat patterns of isolating a cluster then scanning that
cluster. As a result, cluster_alloc_swap_entry() is shorter and
shallower.
No functional change.
