swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap
write path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function.
However, if a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of
a page to the swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as
the page will simply reenter the backend.
This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the
bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend,
like zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook.
__add_to_swap_cache() is also made non-static so that the page for
which writeback is to be resumed can be added to the swap cache.
