mm: zswap: fix potential memory corruption on duplicate store
While stress-testing zswap a memory corruption was happening when writing back pages. __frontswap_store used to check for duplicate entries before attempting to store a page in zswap, this was because if the store fails the old entry isn't removed from the tree. This change removes duplicate entries in zswap_store before the actual attempt.
