I understand that we don't have requirements to support "usage == 1 &&
nr > 1" case for __swap_duplicate() at least for now.

Please add this.  And, I think that we need to make it explicit in patch
description and comments to avoid potential confusing.

And, because it's hard to implement the verify and change strategy if
"usage == 1".  Can we only use that strategy for "usage ==
SWAP_HAS_CACHE"?
