mm: use pte markers for swap errors
PTE markers are ideal mechanism for things like SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR. Using a
whole swap entry type for this purpose can be an overkill, especially if
we already have PTE markers. Define a new bit for swapin error and
replace it with pte markers. Then we can safely drop SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR and
give one device slot back to swap.
We used to have SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR taking the page pfn as part of the swap
entry, but it's never used. Neither do I see how it can be useful because
normally the swapin failure should not be caused by a bad page but bad
swap device. Drop it alongside.
