[PATCH 2/4] SwapMig: add_to_swap() avoid atomic allocations

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

Add gfp_mask to add_to_swap

add_to_swap does allocations with GFP_ATOMIC in order not to
interfere with swapping. During migration we may have
use add_to_swap extensively which may lead to out of memory
errors.

This patch makes add_to_swap take a parameter that specifies
the gfp mask. The page migration code can then make add_to_swap
use GFP_KERNEL.
