[PATCH 2/5] swap: fix do_swap_page() race with swapoff

[Miaohe Lin]

When I was investigating the swap code, I found the below possible race
window:

CPU 1					CPU 2
-----					-----
do_swap_page
  synchronous swap_readpage
    alloc_page_vma
					swapoff
					  release swap_file, bdev, or ...
      swap_readpage
	check sis->flags is ok
	  access swap_file, bdev...[oops!]
					    si->flags = 0

Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for
swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long
time. And this race may not be really pernicious because swapoff is usually
done when system shutdown only. To reduce the performance overhead on the
hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close
this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying).
