One of my VM guest has a swapon issue:
root #swapon -v -f /swap1
swapon /swap1
swapon: /swap1: found swap signature: version 1, page-size 4, same byte order
swapon: /swap1: pagesize=4096, swapsize=1607467008, devsize=1607467008
swapon: /swap1: swapon failed: Invalid argument

and bisection report commit 822bca52ee7e "mm/swapfile.c: fix potential
memory leak in sys_swapon" cause the trouble.

Go through the context I found the exit_swap_address_space(p->type)
shouldn't be used in good result path. So just move it to error path.

But ... it's not used in the success path.  There's a 'goto' right
before it.  Does this really fix your problem?

The trick thing is. It do fix my problem on my centos 7 with gcc 8.3.1...

I am getting headache on this problem...

Checked again on my git tree. nothing weird, and code based on
cf7cd542d1b5 Add linux-next specific files for 20201104

Sorry, I have no idea where is the problem...

Many thanks for your patch. But I'am somehow confused as we only do the label free_swap_address_space stuff in error path. And the good result
path can't reach here as it just goto out before free_swap_address_space label. Could you please explain it for me more detailed?

Thanks again.
