Subject: [PATCHv2 22/24] sys_swapon: move printk outside lock

The block in sys_swapon which does the final adjustments to the
swap_info_struct and to swap_list is the same as the block which
re-inserts it again at sys_swapoff on failure of try_to_unuse(). To be
able to make both share the same code, move the printk() call in the
middle of it to just after it.
