mm/swap: fix swap cache memcg accounting
The swap readahead path was recently refactored and while doing this, the
order between the charging of the folio in the memcg and the addition of
the folio in the swap cache was inverted.
Since the accounting of the folio is done while adding the folio to the
swap cache and the folio is not charged in the memcg yet, the accounting
is then done at the node level, which is wrong.
Fix this by charging the folio in the memcg before adding it to the swap cache.
