Fair enough. The comment that you added above get_swap_device() states
that all swap-related functions should have some sort of protection
against swapoff, so I guess that's sufficient.

My concern is that sometimes people don't know where to look, and
having a comment above the function might be helpful. I do agree
though that having a comment above ~all swap-related functions
pointing to the comment above get_swap_device() is too much.
