With fast swap storage, platform want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.

The rw_page based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress
test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm.

This patch aims for reducing swap-in latency via skipping swapcache
if swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device.

It enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead,
from 2.41sec to 1.64sec).

Andrew, [1] is zram specific patch so could be applied separately
but this patch is based on that so I include it in this series.

* From v1
  * style fix
  * a bug fix
  * drop page-cluster based readahead off
    * This regression could be solved by other patch from Huang.

  [1] zram: set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES once
  [2] bdi: introduce BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
  [3] mm:swap: introduce SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
  [4] mm:swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device
