robin.kuo b0020cbd26 mm, swap: restore swap_space attr aviod kernel panic 
commit a0f3c0845a upstream.

commit 8b47299a41 ("mm, swap: mark swap address space ro and add context
debug check") made the swap address space read-only.  It may lead to
kernel panic if arch_prepare_to_swap returns a failure under heavy memory
pressure as follows,

Restore swap address space as not ro to avoid the panic.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
