swap_readpage() does the sync io for one page, the io is not big, normally, the io can be finished quickly, but it may take long time or wait forever in case of io failure or discard. This patch is to use blk_io_schedule() instead of io_schedule() to avoid task hung and crash(when set /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic) in case of above exception occur. We have prevented task hung in submit_bio_wait(), blk_execute_rq() and __blkdev_direct_IO().
