[PATCH] swap: swap extent list is ordered

Browse source 
There are several comments that swap's extent_list.prev points to the lowest
extent: that's not so, it's extent_list.next which points to it, as you'd
expect.  And a couple of loops in add_swap_extent which go all the way through
the list, when they should just add to the other end.

Fix those up, and let map_swap_page search the list forwards: profiles shows
it to be twice as quick that way - because prefetch works better on how the
structs are typically kmalloc'ed?  or because usually more is written to than
read from swap, and swap is allocated ascendingly?
