tmpfs: move swap swizzling into shmem

Browse Source 
move_to_swap_cache and move_from_swap_cache functions (which swizzle a page
between tmpfs page cache and swap cache, to avoid page copying) are only used
by shmem.c; and our subsequent fix for unionfs needs different treatments in
the two instances of move_from_swap_cache.  Move them from swap_state.c into
their callsites shmem_writepage, shmem_unuse_inode and shmem_getpage, making
add_to_swap_cache externally visible.

shmem.c likes to say set_page_dirty where swap_state.c liked to say
SetPageDirty: respect that diversity, which __set_page_dirty_no_writeback
makes moot (and implies we should lose that "shift page from clean_pages to
dirty_pages list" comment: it's on neither).
