While testing Swap over NFS patchset, I noticed an oops that was triggered
during swapon. Investigating further, the NULL pointer deference is due to the
SSD device check/optimization in the swapon code that assumes s_bdev could never
be NULL.
inode->i_sb->s_bdev could be NULL in a few cases. For e.g. one such case is
loopback NFS mount, there could be others as well. Fix this by ensuring s_bdev
is not NULL before we try to deference s_bdev.
