Subject: [PATCH] mm: zswap: fix potential memory corruption on duplicate store
While stress-testing zswap a memory corruption was happening when writing
back pages. __frontswap_store used to check for duplicate entries before
attempting to store a page in zswap, this was because if the store fails
the old entry isn't removed from the tree. This change removes duplicate
entries in zswap_store before the actual attempt.
[cerasuolodomenico@gmail.com: add a warning and a comment, per Johannes]
