From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Revert "mm: swap: check if swap backing device is congested or not"
Due to the change about how block layer detects congestion the
justification of commit 8fd2e0b505d1 ("mm: swap: check if swap backing
device is congested or not") doesn't stand anymore, so the commit could be
just reverted in order to solve the race reported by commit 2efa33fc7f6e
("mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff"). The fix was reverted
by the previous patch.
