[PATCH] swap: freeing update swap_list.next
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This makes negligible difference in practice: but swap_list.next should not be
updated to a higher prio in the general helper swap_info_get, but rather in
swap_entry_free; and then only in the case when entry is actually freed.
