3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

commit 052b1987faca3606109d88d96bce124851f7c4c2 upstream.

When swapon() was not passed the SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD option, sys_swapon()
will still perform a discard operation.  This can cause problems if
discard is slow or buggy.

Reverse the order of the check so that a discard operation is performed
only if the sys_swapon() caller is attempting to enable discard.
