Subject: mm, swap: use SWP_SOLIDSTATE to determine if swap is rotational
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:50:08 +0900

The current non rotational check is unreliable as the device's rotational
status can be changed by a user via sysfs.

Use the more reliable SWP_SOLIDSTATE flag which is set at swapon time, to
ensure the nr_rotate_swap count remains consistent.  Plus, it is easy to
read and simple.
