NFS: swap IO handling is slightly different for O_DIRECT IO

[ Upstream commit 64158668ac8b31626a8ce48db4cad08496eb8340 ]

1/ Taking the i_rwsem for swap IO triggers lockdep warnings regarding
   possible deadlocks with "fs_reclaim".  These deadlocks could, I believe,
   eventuate if a buffered read on the swapfile was attempted.

   We don't need coherence with the page cache for a swap file, and
   buffered writes are forbidden anyway.  There is no other need for
   i_rwsem during direct IO.  So never take it for swap_rw()

2/ generic_write_checks() explicitly forbids writes to swap, and
   performs checks that are not needed for swap.  So bypass it
   for swap_rw().
