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.
