frontswap: get rid of swap_lock dependency

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be
atomic about frontswap's first appearance.  IOW, frontswap is not present
and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new
swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem
doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O
working on frontswap.

So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.

[v1: Rebased on my branch, reworked to work with backends loading late]
[v2: Added a check for !map]
[v3: Made the invalidate path follow the init path]
