swap_readpage() sets waiter = bio->bi_private even if synchronous = F,
this means that the caller can get the spurious wakeup after return.

This can be fatal if blk_wake_io_task() does
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after the caller does
set_special_state(), in the worst case the kernel can crash in
do_task_dead().
