mm, swap: remove old allocation path for HDD
We are currently using different swap allocation algorithm for HDD and
non-HDD. This leads to the existence of a different set of locks, and the
code path is heavily bloated, causing difficulties for further
optimization and maintenance.
This commit removes all HDD swap allocation and related dead code, and
uses the cluster allocation algorithm instead.
The performance may drop temporarily, but this should be negligible: The
main advantage of the legacy HDD allocation algorithm is that it tends to
use continuous slots, but swap device gets fragmented quickly anyway, and
the attempt to use continuous slots will fail easily.
This commit also enables mTHP swap on HDD, which is expected to be
beneficial, and following commits will adapt and optimize the cluster
allocator for HDD.
