mm: frontswap: split frontswap_shrink further to simplify locking
Split frontswap_shrink to simplify the locking in the original code. Also, assert that the function that was split still runs under the swap spinlock. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
