don't unlink an active swapfile
Peter Cordes is sorry that he rm'ed his swapfiles while they were in use,
he then had no pathname to swapoff. It's a curious little oversight, but
not one worth a lot of hackery. Kudos to Willy Tarreau for turning this
around from a discussion of synthetic pathnames to how to prevent unlink.
Mimic immutable: prohibit unlinking an active swapfile in may_delete()
(and don't worry my little head over the tiny race window).
