mm/swap: skip readahead only when swap slot cache is enabled
Because during swap off, a swap entry may have swap_map[] ==
SWAP_HAS_CACHE (for example, just allocated). If we return NULL in
__read_swap_cache_async(), the swap off will abort. So when swap slot
cache is disabled, (for swap off), we will wait for page to be put into
swap cache in such race condition. This should not be a problem for swap
slot cache, because swap slot cache should be drained after clearing
swap_slot_cache_enabled.
Not get the point yet.
