Hi Kemeng,

This patch is a bit too trivial to be a standalone one, you can fold
it with the later one easily. Also you may want to carry the
VM_BUG_ON(ci != offset_to_cluster(si, offset + nr_pages - 1)); check
as well.

But, that is basically just renaming swap_entry_range_free, you may
just remove the HAS_CACHE check as you rename it, that way the changes
should be cleaner.
