total_swapcache_pages() may race with swapper_spaces[] allocation and freeing. Previously, this is protected with a swapper_spaces[] specific RCU mechanism. To simplify the logic/code complexity, it is replaced with get/put_swap_device(). The code line number is reduced too. Although not so important, the swapoff() performance improves too because one synchronize_rcu() call during swapoff() is deleted.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
