Then, Here is right fix patch against current mainline.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: release locked page in do_swap_page

James reported a bug of swap paging-in for his testing. It is that
do_swap_page doesn't release locked page so system hang-up happens
by deadlock of PG_locked.

It was introduced by [1] because I missed swap cache hit places to
update swapcache variable to work well with other logics against
swapcache in do_swap_page.

This patch fixes it.
