mm: frontswap: invalidate expired data on a dup-store failure 

If a frontswap dup-store failed, it should invalidate the expired page
in the backend, or it could trigger some data corruption issue.
Such as:
 1. use zswap as the frontswap backend with writeback feature
 2. store a swap page(version_1) to entry A, success
 3. dup-store a newer page(version_2) to the same entry A, fail
 4. use __swap_writepage() write version_2 page to swapfile, success
 5. zswap do shrink, writeback version_1 page to swapfile
 6. version_2 page is overwrited by version_1, data corrupt.

This patch fixes this issue by invalidating expired data immediately
when meet a dup-store failure.
