mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device pinning

Browse source

Currently __read_swap_cache_async() has get/put_swap_device() calls to
increase/decrease a swap device reference to prevent swapoff.  While some
of its callers have already held the swap device reference, e.g in
do_swap_page() and shmem_swapin_folio() where __read_swap_cache_async()
will finally called.  Now there are only two callers not holding a swap
device reference, so make them hold a reference instead.  And drop the
get/put_swap_device calls in __read_swap_cache_async.  This should reduce
the overhead for swap in during page fault slightly.
