This looks good to me, while the log makes me take a little longer time
to understand. Maybe rephrasing them a little bit can facilitate the log
reading. Not sure if my understanding is correct.

=======
Currently, __read_swap_cache_async() has get/put_swap_device() calls to
increase/decrease a swap device reference. While some of its callers
have held the swap  device reference, e.g in do_swap_page() and
shmem_swapin_folio() where __read_swap_cache_async() will finally
called. Now there are only two excpetional callers not holding a swap
device reference, so make them hold a reference instead. And drop the
get/put_swap_device calls in __read_swap_cache_async. This should reduce
the overhead for swap in during page fault slightly.
========

Other than the nit in log, this looks good to me.
