mm: add swap cache interface for swap reference

In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map.
This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that.

2 interfaces:

  - swapcache_prepare()
  - swapcache_free()

are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap
entries.  But implementation itself is not changed under this patch.  At
adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under
swapcache_free().  This is better than using scattered hooks.
