I guess DK-D has information (from libblkid/udev) that the device is
"swsuspend", the library differentiate between swap and swsuspend
superblocks.
Note it's very unusual to see valid hibernation images from fully
initialized userspace, for example swapon(1) automatically destroys
these images (see swapon man page for more details).
