swapfile: swapon use discard (trim)
When adding swap, all the old data on swap can be forgotten: sys_swapon() discard all but the header page of the swap partition (or every extent but the header of the swap file), to give a solidstate swap device the opportunity to optimize its wear-levelling. If that succeeds, note SWP_DISCARDABLE for later use, and report it with a "D" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ... swap" message. Perhaps something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have to be more cautious before making any addition to that format.
