mm, swap: use a global swap cluster for non-rotation devices

Non-rotational devices (SSD / ZRAM) can tolerate fragmentation, so the
goal of the SWAP allocator is to avoid contention for clusters.  It uses a
per-CPU cluster design, and each CPU will use a different cluster as much
as possible.

However, HDDs are very sensitive to fragmentation, contention is trivial
in comparison.  Therefore, we use one global cluster instead.  This
ensures that each order will be written to the same cluster as much as
possible, which helps make the I/O more continuous.

This ensures that the performance of the cluster allocator is as good as
that of the old allocator.  Tests after this commit compared to those
before this series:

Tested using 'make -j32' with tinyconfig, a 1G memcg limit, and HDD swap:
