__swap_duplicate() is called by

- swap_shmem_alloc(): the folio in swap cache is locked.

- copy_nonpresent_pte() -> swap_duplicate() and try_to_unmap_one() ->
swap_duplicate(): the page table lock is held.

- __read_swap_cache_async() -> swapcache_prepare(): enclosed with
get/put_swap_device() in __read_swap_cache_async() already.

So, it's safe to remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_duplicate().
