mm, swap: remove swap slot cache

Slot cache is no longer needed now, removing it and all related code.

- vm-scalability with: `usemem --init-time -O -y -x -R -31 1G`,
12G memory cgroup using simulated pmem as SWAP (32G pmem, 32 CPUs),
16 test runs for each case, measuring the total throughput:

                      Before (KB/s) (stdev)  After (KB/s) (stdev)
Random (4K):          424907.60 (24410.78)   414745.92  (34554.78)
Random (64K):         163308.82 (11635.72)   167314.50  (18434.99)
Sequential (4K, !-R): 6150056.79 (103205.90) 6321469.06 (115878.16)

The performance changes are below noise level.

- Build linux kernel with make -j96, using 4K folio with 1.5G memory
cgroup limit and 64K folio with 2G memory cgroup limit, on top of tmpfs,
12 test runs, measuring the system time:

                  Before (s) (stdev)  After (s) (stdev)
make -j96 (4K):   6445.69 (61.95)     6408.80 (69.46)
make -j96 (64K):  6841.71 (409.04)    6437.99 (435.55)

Similar to above, 64k mTHP case showed a slight improvement.
