Both unionfs and memcgroups pose challenges to tmpfs and shmem. To help
fix, it's best to move the swap swizzling functions from swap_state.c
to shmem.c. As a preliminary to that, move swap stats updating down
into __add_to_swap_cache, which will remain internal to swap_state.c.
Well, actually, just move down the incrementation of add_total: remove
noent_race and exist_race completely, they are relics of my 2.4.11 testing.
Alt-SysRq-m users will be thrilled if 2.6.25 is at last free of "race M+N"s.

checkpatch.pl would like me to add a KERN_level to the printk, but that's
not something I want to get into here: this is one of a sequence of printks,
some of which are per-arch, with different KERN_levels in different archs.
Perhaps the remaining add/delete/find swap stats should be junked too;
but they are of more general significance, so leave them for now. Nor do I
want to get into removing that irritatingly repeated "Free swap" right now.
