[PATCH RFC v3 12/35] mm: Call arch_swap_prepare_to_restore() before arch_swap_restore()

arm64 uses arch_swap_restore() to restore saved tags before the page is
swapped in and it's called in atomic context (with the ptl lock held).

Introduce arch_swap_prepare_to_restore() that will allow an architecture to
perform extra work during swap in and outside of a critical section.
This will be used by arm64 to allocate a buffer in memory where to
temporarily save tags if tag storage is not available for the page being
swapped in.
