Public bug reported:
'swapon --summary' should be the same as /proc/swaps (as per documentation).
However, they are formatted differently and this could lead to bugs as the
'Used' field gets merged with the 'Priority' field for large values of 'Used'
(not uncommonly large now we can swap to SSD/NVMe). Example output is:
```
think1 tonyr: swapon --summary
Filename Type Size Used
Priority
/dev/sdd partition 117220820
585133161
/dev/sdb partition 117220820

/dev/sde partition 117220820
585251641
/dev/sdc partition 117220820
