swap: Add flag to identify block swap devices

Added SWP_BLKDEV flag to distinguish block and regular file backed
swap devices. We could also check if a swap is entire block device,
rather than a file, by:
S_ISBLK(swap_info_struct->swap_file->f_mapping->host->i_mode)
but, I think, simply checking this flag is more convenient.
