[PATCH] reject corrupt swapfiles earlier

Browse source 
The fsfuzzer found this; with a corrupt small swapfile that claims to have
many pages:

  [root]# file swap.741.img
  swap.741.img: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) 1 (4K pages) size 1040191487 pages
  [root]# ls -l swap.741.img
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16777216 Nov 22 05:18 swap.741.img

sys_swapon() will try to vmalloc all those pages, and -then- check to see if
the file is actually that large:

                if (!(p->swap_map = vmalloc(maxpages * sizeof(short)))) {
  <snip>
        if (swapfilesize && maxpages > swapfilesize) {
                printk(KERN_WARNING
                       "Swap area shorter than signature indicates\n");

It seems to me that it would make more sense to move this test up before
the vmalloc, with the other checks, to avoid the OOM-killer in this
situation...
