Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff

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

CPU 1                                           CPU 2
-----                                           -----
shmem_swapin
  swap_cluster_readahead
    if (likely(si->flags & (SWP_BLKDEV | SWP_FS_OPS))) {
                                                swapoff
                                                  si->flags &= ~SWP_VALID;
                                                  ..
                                                  synchronize_rcu();
                                                  ..
                                                  si->swap_file = NULL;
    struct inode *inode = si->swap_file->f_mapping->host;[oops!]

Close this race window by using get/put_swap_device() to guard against
concurrent swapoff.
