Before commit 452b94b8c8c7 ("mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to
uninitialized swap slot cache"), the following bug is reported,
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at mm/swap_slots.c:270!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
CPU: 5 PID: 1745 Comm: (sd-pam) Not tainted 4.11.0-rc1-00243-g24c534bb161b #1
Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/Z170-K, BIOS
1803 05/06/2016
RIP: 0010:free_swap_slot+0xba/0xd0
Call Trace:
swap_free+0x36/0x40

---[ end trace aefc9ede53e0ab21 ]---
This is raised by the BUG_ON(!swap_slot_cache_initialized) in
free_swap_slot(). This is incorrect, because even if the swap slots
cache fails to be initialized, the swap should operate properly
without the swap slots cache. And the use_swap_slot_cache check later
in the function will protect the uninitialized swap slots cache case.
In commit 452b94b8c8c7, the BUG_ON() is replaced by WARN_ON_ONCE().
In the patch, the WARN_ON_ONCE() is removed too.
