hibernate: Allow uswsusp to write to swap 

[ Upstream commit 56939e014a6c212b317414faa307029e2e80c3b9 ]

It turns out that there is one use case for programs being able to
write to swap devices, and that is the userspace hibernation code.

Quick fix: disable the S_SWAPFILE check if hibernation is configured.

Fixes: dc617f29db ("vfs: don't allow writes to swap files")
