[RFC PATCH 2/3] mm: drop stale folio_ref_count()==1 check in do_swap_page reuse logic

[Barry Song (Xiaomi)]

The "we just allocated them without exposing them to the swapcache"
case no longer exists, as Kairui has routed synchronous I/O through
the swapcache as well in his series "unify swapin use swap cache and
cleanup flags"[1]. As a result, folio_ref_count() should never be 1
in this path, since at least two references are held (base ref plus
swapcache). Remove the folio_ref_count()==1 check and update the
comment accordingly.
