Sorry if you receive this one twice, last mail get mail address messed.
In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry,
because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break
anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page
reclaim. We avoid read such swap entry.
And next patch will mark a swap entry bad temporarily for discard. Without this
patch, swap entry count will be messed.
Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.
