Presumably the usage of swap_page_sector was already affecting swap on
blockdevs that implement rw_page (currently brd, zram, btt, pmem), so it
may worth adding:

Fixes: dd6bd0d9c7db ("swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.16+

for backporting, since it also affects stable.
