Yes, I'm not sure what good swapoff would do just before rebooting,
except if you are using a swapfile and keeping it mounted would cause
umounting that filesystem to fail - But I've never used swap in a
Buildroot based project.

Notice that we will still get the error message from the swapon call
during startup if we drop the swapon applet.

Maybe we should just leave it as is.
