Right, but we need to make sure there is no sleepable function called
before put_swap_device() called, and the call trace showed the following
happened:

do_swap_page():
si = get_swap_device():
rcu_read_lock();
lock_page_or_retry():
might_sleep(); // call a sleepable function inside RCU read-side c.s.
__lock_page_or_retry():
wait_on_page_bit_common():
schedule():
rcu_note_context_switch();
// Warn here
put_swap_device();
rcu_read_unlock();

, which introduced by commit 2799e77529c2a
