Small nit. It's nice that you lined up the first two fields, but it 
would be nice to line up the third one too:

struct swapio_check {
	spinlock_t		lock;
	void			*swap_bio_list;
	struct delayed_work	work;
} stale_swap_check;

Hm, this patch adds quite a bit of scanning overhead to 
end_swap_bio_write(), to work around artifacts of a global LRU not 
working well with a partitioned system's per-partition LRU needs.

Isnt the right solution to have a better LRU that is aware of this, 
instead of polling around in the hope of cleaning up stale entries?
