[PATCH 3/4] swap: Add try_to_unuse_page_entry()

[Richard Purdie]

Add try_to_unuse_page_entry(). As this function takes a already locked page, 
the locking and refcounting within try_to_unuse_entry() needs to be rearranged.

These patches are a based on a patch by Nick Piggin and some of my own
patches/bugfixes as discussed on LKML.
