[PATCH 03/10] mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked

[Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>]

v3.16 commit 07a427884348 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).

That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.  Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async()
error path: it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.

Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.

There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places,
but SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

so it feels slightly ruder to carry that forward without asking,
than to ask again after all this time not submitting what he approved.
