Need to update comment in free_swap_and_cache_nr() now that swap_entry_put() goes away.

         * the swap once per folio in the common case. If we do
         * swap_entry_put() and __try_to_reclaim_swap() in the same loop, the
         * latter will get a reference and lock the folio for every individual ...
