[PATCH] mm: swap prefetch more improvements

[Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org>]

akpm, please queue on top of "mm: swap prefetch improvements"

---
Failed radix_tree_insert wasn't being handled leaving stale kmem.

The list should be iterated over in the reverse order when prefetching.

Make the yield within kprefetchd stronger through the use of cond_resched.

Check that the pos entry hasn't been removed while unlocked.
