In older versions of util-linux, swapon and swapoff were the same binary, and it did runtime detection. But since v2.22 which is util-linux commit 6cf8d46ceefe9a7, they are separate binaries.
This patch is necessary to make the util-linux version of swapoff work at all - currently in OE swapoff = swapon, which is clearly broken =) Probably most OE consumers use the busybox swapoff and hence this has gone unnoticed.
