Subject: [PATCH 6/8] mm/swap: remove swap_lock to simplify si_swapinfo()

Consider of performance and simplicity, this patch remove swap_lock
to simplify the si_swapinfo().

Because the system info we obtain through /proc or /sys interface is
just a snapshot, we don't need a very precise freeswap and totalswap count.
Some monitor tool will get these count at per-second period, so it is good
to performance.
