Hi Baoquan,

Thanks for the series.

Most commits are looking great, but this one is a bit questionable.
cluster_scan_range is only called by alloc_swap_scan_cluster, and it
already checks if the cluster has enough empty slots to use, so this
might be redundant.

It is possible that cluster_scan_range sees an empty cluster if the
cluster lock was dropped for reclaiming HAS_CACHE, but the chance
should be extremely low, that this might be a negative optimization.
