vmscan: let GFP_NOFS go to swap again



In the past, GFP_NOFS (but of course not GFP_NOIO) was allowed to reclaim
by writing to swap.  That got partially broken in 2.6.23, when may_enter_fs
initialization was moved up before the allocation of swap, so its
PageSwapCache test was failing the first time around,

Fix it by setting may_enter_fs when add_to_swap() succeeds with
__GFP_IO.  In fact, check __GFP_IO before calling add_to_swap():
allocating swap we're not ready to use just increases disk seeking.
