Let's see a example add_to_swap. Without it, it looks like that.

int add_to_swap(struct page *page)
{
        entry = get_swap_page(page);
        ..
        ..
fail:
        if (PageTransHuge(page))
                swapcache_free_cluster(entry);
        else
                swapcache_free(entry);
}

It doesn't looks good to me because get_swap_page hides
where entry allocation is from cluster or slot but when
we free the entry allocated, we should be aware of the
internal and call right function. :(

Do you think it's better still?
