Subjectupdated patch for 2.1.103 swap code
Hi Stephen,

I've made a small change to the previously posted patch to avoid calling
swap_duplicate() unless there's a danger of blocking. This keeps the
fast path free of unnecessary increments/decrements while ensuring that
a swap entry can always be read in (barring out-of-memory errors.)

I've tested it with multiple cycles of swapoff/swapon with no warning
messages, and all seems to be working well.

Regards,
