swapoff: scan ptes preemptibly

Provided that CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set, unuse_pte_range can reduce latency
in swapoff by scanning the page table preemptibly: so long as unuse_pte is
careful to recheck that entry under pte lock.

(To tell the truth, this patch was not inspired by any cries for lower
latency here: rather, this restructuring permits a future memory controller
patch to allocate with GFP_KERNEL in unuse_pte, where before it could not.
But it would be wrong to tuck this change away inside a memcgroup patch.)
