mm: memcontrol: deprecate swapaccounting=0 mode
The swapaccounting= commandline option already does very little today. To close a trivial containment failure case, the swap ownership tracking part of the swap controller has recently become mandatory (see commit 2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of memory control") for details), which makes up the majority of the work during swapout, swapin, and the swap slot map. The only thing left under this flag is the page_counter operations and the visibility of the swap control files in the first place, which are rather meager savings. There also aren't many scenarios, if any, where controlling the memory of a cgroup while allowing it unlimited access to a global swap space is a workable resource isolation strategy. On the other hand, there have been several bugs and confusion around the many possible swap controller states (cgroup1 vs cgroup2 behavior, memory accounting without swap accounting, memcg runtime disabled). This puts the maintenance overhead of retaining the toggle above its practical benefits. Deprecate it.
