The block in sys_swapon which does the final adjustments to the swap_info_struct and to swap_list is the same as the block which re-inserts it again at sys_swapoff on failure of try_to_unuse(), except for the order of the operations within the lock. Since the order should not matter, arbitrarily change sys_swapoff to match sys_swapon, in preparation to making both share the same code.
