Subject: [PATCH v6 1/6] swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async

Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce
swap read latency for block devices that can be polled. However later
commit [2] removed polling support. Therefore it seems safe to remove
do_poll parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage
with synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.

[1] commit 23955622ff8d ("swap: add block io poll in swapin path")
[2] commit 9650b453a3d4 ("block: ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio")
