swapoff 2.4.22 seems to be bad

[John R Moser]

Well, with at least Con Kolivas' patch set, turning swap
off seems to FREEZE (not panic) the kernel, hard.  This
is noticable on `shutdown -r now` in Gentoo, when the blinking
square that is my cursor suddenly turns solid white underneath
the line:

Deactivating swap partitions:          

I think something's broke, may be in CK's patch set (ck1 and 2
are affected) but I've not tested on the vanilla source. Test
both guys.
