[RFC v3 13/15] mm, swap: defer xswap shrink to workqueue to avoid lock recursion

xswap_try_shrink() was called directly from __free_cluster() while
holding ci->lock.  The shrink path calls xswap_unmap_clusters()
which unmaps vmalloc pages backing cluster_info, and on return
swap_cache_del_folio() tries swap_cluster_unlock(ci) on the now-
unmapped address — crashing on a not-present page.

Replace direct calls with schedule_work() so shrink runs in an
independent workqueue context where no cluster locks are held.
Use cancel_work_sync() during swapoff to ensure no pending shrink
work races with the VM area teardown.
