mm/khugepaged: try to free transhuge swapcache when possible

Transhuge swapcaches won't be freed in __collapse_huge_page_copy().  It's
because release_pte_page() is not called for these pages and thus
free_page_and_swap_cache can't grab the page lock.  These pages won't be
freed from swap cache even if we are the only user until next time
reclaim.  It shouldn't hurt indeed, but we could try to free these pages
to save more memory for system.
