This change disables swap vma readahead. This is because swap_ra_info()
updates vma->swap_readahead_info, which is not feasible when operating
on pseudo-vmas.

This is a crude temporary solution. It may be possible to use a per-mm
swap_readahead_info instead, or if not, to explicitly fetch the vma of
record when updating the swap readahead statistics.
