[PATCH v2] mm/swapfile.c: simplify the scan loop in scan_swap_map_slots()

[Wei Yang]

After commit c60aa176c6de8 ("swapfile: swap allocation cycle if
nonrot"), swap allocation is cyclic. Current approach is done with two
separate loop on the upper and lower half. This looks a little
redundant.

>From another point of view, the loop iterates [lowest_bit, highest_bit]
range starting with (offset + 1) but except scan_base. So we can
simplify the loop with condition (next_offset() != scan_base) by
introducing next_offset() which makes sure offset fit in that range
with correct order.

v2:
  * return scan_base if the lower part is eaten
  * only start over when iterating on the upper part
