[v2,3/7] mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device pinning

Currently __read_swap_cache_async() has get/put_swap_device() calls to
increase/decrease a swap device reference to prevent swapoff. While some
of its callers have already held the swap device reference, e.g in
do_swap_page() and shmem_swapin_folio() where __read_swap_cache_async()
will finally called. Now there are only two callers not holding a swap
device reference, so make them hold a reference instead. And drop the
get/put_swap_device calls in __read_swap_cache_async. This should reduce
the overhead for swap in during page fault slightly.
