From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

Since we no longer bypass the swap cache, every swap-in will clear the
swap shadow by inserting the folio into the swap table. The only place
we may seem to need to free the swap shadow is when the swap slots are
freed directly without a folio (swap_put_entries_direct). But with the
swap table, that is not needed either. Freeing a slot in the swap table
will set the table entry to NULL, which erases the shadow just fine.

So just delete all explicit shadow clearing, it's no longer needed.
Also, rearrange the freeing.
