[PATCH] SwapMig: add_to_swap() avoid atomic allocations

Add gfp_mask to add_to_swap

add_to_swap does allocations with GFP_ATOMIC in order not to interfere with
swapping.  During migration we may have use add_to_swap extensively which may
lead to out of memory errors.

This patch makes add_to_swap take a parameter that specifies the gfp mask.
The page migration code can then make add_to_swap use GFP_KERNEL.
