mm: swap: SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO: skip swapcache only if swapped page has no other reference
When SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swapped-in pages are shared by several processes, it can cause unnecessary memory wastage by skipping swap cache. Because, with swapin fault by read, they could share a page if the page were in swap cache. Thus, it avoids allocating same content new pages. This patch makes the swapcache skipping work only if the swap pte is non-sharable.
