[Patch v2] mm/swap_slots.c: assign|reset cache slot by value directly

From: Wei Yang
Date: Wed Mar 11 2020 - 01:54:16 EST


Currently we use a tmp pointer, pentry, to transfer and reset swap cache
slot, which is a little redundant. Swap cache slot stores the entry
value directly, assign and reset it by value would be straight forward.

Also this patch merges the else and if, since this is the only case we
refill and repeat swap cache.
