mm/swapfile: fix list iteration when next node is removed during discard

Patch series "mm/swapfile: fix and cleanup swap list iterations", v2.

This series fixes a potential list iteration issue in swap_sync_discard()
when devices are removed, and includes a cleanup for
__folio_throttle_swaprate().


This patch (of 2):

When the next node is removed from the plist (e.g.  by swapoff),
plist_del() makes the node point to itself, causing the iteration to loop
on the same entry indefinitely.

Add a plist_node_empty() check to detect this case and restart iteration,
allowing swap_sync_discard() to continue processing remaining swap devices
that still have pending discard entries.

Additionally, switch from swap_avail_lock/swap_avail_head to
swap_lock/swap_active_head so that iteration is only affected by swapoff
operations rather than frequent availability changes, reducing exceptional
condition checks and lock contention.
