Subject: [PATCH -mm -V2] mm, swap: Fix false error message in __swp_swapcount()

From: Huang Ying <huang.ying.caritas@...il.com>

When a page fault occurs for a swap entry, the physical swap readahead
(not the VMA base swap readahead) may readahead several swap entries
after the fault swap entry.  The readahead algorithm calculates some
of the swap entries to readahead via increasing the offset of the
fault swap entry without checking whether they are beyond the end of
the swap device and it relys on the __swp_swapcount() and
swapcache_prepare() to check it.  Although __swp_swapcount() checks
for the swap entry passed in, it will complain with the error message
as follow for the expected invalid swap entry.  This may make the end
users confused.

  swap_info_get: Bad swap offset entry 0200f8a7

To fix the false error message, the swap entry checking is added in
swap readahead to avoid to pass the out-bound swap entries and the
swap entry reserved for the swap header to __swp_swapcount() and
swapcache_prepare().
