[PATCH RFC] mm: simplify frontswap_init()

[Cesar Eduardo Barros <cesarb@cesarb.net>]

The function frontswap_init() uses the passed parameter only to check
for the presence of the frontswap_map. It is also passed down to
frontswap_ops.init(), but all implementations of it in the kernel ignore
the parameter.

Do the check for frontswap_map in the caller instead and remove the
parameter from frontswap_init() and frontswap_ops.init().

Also, __frontswap_init() was exported, but its only caller (via an
inline function) is mm/swapfile.c, which cannot be built as a module.
Remove the unnecessary export.

Not even compile tested, just a quick patch to show what I was thinking
of, but feel free to apply if you think it is good.

I might write another patch to move it outside the lock later, but I
would have to read the frontswap code more carefully first.
