[PATCH v2 5/7] mm:swap: use on-stack-bio for BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS device

[Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>]

There is no need to use dynamic bio allocation for BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS
devices. They can live with on-stack-bio without concern about
waiting bio allocation from mempool under heavy memory pressure.

It would be much better for swap devices because the bio mempool
for swap IO have been used with fs. It means super-fast swap
IO like zram don't need to depends on slow eMMC read/write
completion.
