Codes in mm/page_io.c are only related to swap io, it has
nothing to do with other page io.
Rename it to avoid confusion.

This simplifies codes and makes logic clearer. And also makes later any
new swap device type being added easier to handle.
Currently there are three types of swap devices: bdev_fs, bdev_sync
and bdev_async, and only operations read_folio and write_folio are
included. In the future, there could be more swap device types added
and more appropriate operations adapted into swap_ops.

All these swap_writepage_* functions handle a passed-in folio,
not a page. This renaming makes them consistent with their
counterpart swap_read_folio_* functions.
