mm/swapfile: fix possible data races of inuse_pages

si->inuse_pages could still be accessed concurrently now.  The plain reads
outside si->lock critical section, i.e.  swap_show and si_swapinfo, which
results in data races.  READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE is used to fix such data
races.  Note these data races should be ok because they're just used for
showing swap info.
