Subject: [PATCH] mm/swapfile.c: remove unnecessary out label in __swap_duplicate()

When the code went to the out label, it must have p == NULL. So what out
label really does is redundant if check and return err. We should Remove
this unnecessary out label because it does not handle resource free and so
on.
