frontswap: fix incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map
The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required
numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the
bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is
not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The
incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map
is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size
may cause the problem.
For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice
as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is
smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of
BITS_PER_LONG.
