Subject: mm: swap: SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO: skip swapcache only if swapped page has no other reference

When SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swapped-in pages are shared by several processes,
it can cause unnecessary memory wastage by skipping swap cache.  Because,
with swapin fault by read, they could share a page if the page were in
swap cache.  Thus, it avoids allocating same content new pages.

This patch makes the swapcache skipping work only if the swap pte is
non-sharable.
