[PATCH] swap: move destroy_swap_extents calls



sys_swapon's call to destroy_swap_extents on failure is made after the final
swap_list_unlock, which is faintly unsafe: another sys_swapon might already be
setting up that swap_info_struct.  Calling it earlier, before taking
swap_list_lock, is safe.  sys_swapoff's call to destroy_swap_extents was safe,
but likewise move it earlier, before taking the locks (once try_to_unuse has
completed, nothing can be needing the swap extents).
