mm, swap: make CONFIG_THP_SWAP depend on CONFIG_SWAP
CONFIG_THP_SWAP should depend on CONFIG_SWAP, because it's unreasonable to optimize swapping for THP (Transparent Huge Page) without basic swapping support. In original code, when CONFIG_SWAP=n and CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y, split_swap_cluster() will not be built because it is in swapfile.c, but it will be called in huge_memory.c. This doesn't trigger a build error in practice because the call site is enclosed by PageSwapCache(), which is defined to be constant 0 when CONFIG_SWAP=n. But this is fragile and should be fixed. The comments are fixed too to reflect the latest progress.
