I think that might be an existing bug... I just didn change it as it's
kind of trivial, and also the comment "Swapfile is not block device so
unable to allocate large entries." which I didn't change either, is
also looking strange, but I prefer to fix them later as the background
seems a bit complex to explain.

Yes, will fix the bot warning.
