Subject: [PATCH v2 19/19] mm, swap: remove no longer needed _swap_info_get

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

There are now only two users of _swap_info_get after consolidating
these callers, folio_try_reclaim_swap and swp_swapcount.

folio_free_swap already holds the folio lock, and the folio
is in swap cache, _swap_info_get is redundant.

For swp_swapcount, it can just use get_swap_device instead. It only
wants to check the swap count, both are fine except get_swap_device
increases the device ref count, which is actually a bit safer. The
only current use is smap walking, and the performance change here
is tiny.

And after these changes, _swap_info_get is no longer used, so we can
safely remove it.
