It's not the main purpose of this patch. Without this patch,
swap thrashing through frontswap or some block device supporting rw_page
operation isn't measured correctly. I think that description change is
required. Please refer to commit 937790699be9c8100e
(mm/page_io.c: annotate refault stalls from swap_readpage).

No objection on the code side.

Thanks.
