mm/swap_slots.c: fix race conditions in swap_slots cache init 

Memory allocations can happen before the swap_slots cache initialization
is completed during cpu bring up.  If we are low on memory, we could
call get_swap_page() and access swap_slots_cache before it is fully
initialized.

Add a check in get_swap_page() for initialized swap_slots_cache to
prevent this condition.  Similar check already exists in free_swap_slot.
Also annotate the checks to indicate the likely condition.

We also added a memory barrier to make sure that the locks
initialization are done before the assignment of cache->slots and
cache->slots_ret pointers.  This ensures the assumption that it is safe
to acquire the slots cache locks and use the slots cache when the
corresponding cache->slots or cache->slots_ret pointers are non null.
