Subject: [PATCH 1/3 linux-next] Revert "mm,shmem: fix a typo in shmem_swapin_page()"

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"), so the fix commit and this fix's fix
commit could be reverted as well.
