From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>

total_swapcache_pages() may race with swapper_spaces[] allocation and
freeing.  Previously, this is protected with a swapper_spaces[]
specific RCU mechanism.  To simplify the logic/code complexity, it is
replaced with get/put_swap_device().  The code line number is reduced
too.  Although not so important, the swapoff() performance improves
too because one synchronize_rcu() call during swapoff() is deleted.
