Subject: [PATCH 08/24] mm/swap: check readahead policy per entry

From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>

Currently VMA readahead is globally disabled when any rotate disk is
used as swap backend. So multiple swap devices are enabled, if a slower
hard disk is set as a low priority fallback, and a high performance SSD
is used and high priority swap device, vma readahead is disabled globally.
The SSD swap device performance will drop by a lot.

Check readahead policy per entry to avoid such problem.
