If we fail to allocate from cluster, "scan_base" and "offset" will not
be overridden. And "cluster_next" or "cluster_next_cpu" may be changed
in swap_do_scheduled_discard(), because the lock is released and
re-acquired there.
The code may not have much value. And you may think that it's better to
remove it. But that should be in another patch.

Oops. I misunderstood "ALIGN()" here. Yes. we should use ALIGN_DOWN()
instead. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks for your review! It really help me to improve the quality of the
patch. Can I add your "Reviewed-by" in the next version?
