swapfile: fix soft lockup in scan_swap_map_slots

A softlockup occurs in scan free swap slot under huge memory pressure. 
The test scenario is: 64 CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the
disksize of each zram device is 50MB.

LATENCY_LIMIT is used to prevent softlockups in scan_swap_map_slots(), but
the real loop number would more than LATENCY_LIMIT because of "goto checks
and goto scan" repeatly without decreasing latency limit.

In order to fix it, decrease latency_ration in advance.

There is also a suspicious place that will cause softlockups in
get_swap_pages().  In this function, the "goto start_over" may result in
continuous scanning of the swap partition.  If there is no cond_sched in
scan_swap_map_slots(), it would cause a softlockup (I am not sure about
this).
