mm, swap: avoid lock swap_avail_lock when held cluster lock

Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding
elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[].  But it is found that now in
scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock
is held.  This does no good except making the locking more complex and
improving the potential locking contention, because the
swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in
the code already.  Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in
scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock.
