[PATCH v2 4/4] swap: avoid holding swap reference in swap_cache_get_folio

[Kairui Song]

From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

All its callers either already hold a reference to, or lock the
swap device while calling this function. There is only one exception
in shmem_swapin_folio, just make this caller also hold a reference
of the swap device, so this helper can be simplified and saves
a few cycles.

This also provides finer control of error handling in shmem_swapin_folio,
on race (with swap off), it can just try again. For invalid swap entry,
it can fail with a proper error code.
