mm: zswap: fix potential memory corruption on duplicate store

While stress-testing zswap a memory corruption was happening when writing
back pages.  __frontswap_store used to check for duplicate entries before
attempting to store a page in zswap, this was because if the store fails
the old entry isn't removed from the tree.  This change removes duplicate
entries in zswap_store before the actual attempt.
