[RFC PATCH v3 17/18] mm/swap: skip reader rotation for single-device priority rings

[Lian Wang]

A priority ring with one device cannot benefit from rotating its starting
offset or maintaining a quota. Read its only entry directly while the
caller continues to hold the topology read lock and migration protection.

Consume the cursor attempt and check the full/disabled pointer tag through
the common path. A masked singleton therefore terminates or falls through
with the same bounded behavior as a multi-device ring. Keep the existing
large-folio same-priority failure boundary.

This removes reader-local state updates for the common single-device case
without bypassing device lifetime or availability checks.
