In systemd we're trying to switch the internal credentials setup logic
to new mount API [1], and I noticed fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE)
consistently fails on tmpfs with noswap option. This can be trivially
reproduced with the following:

```
int fs_fd = fsopen("tmpfs", 0);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noswap", NULL, 0);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);
fsmount(fs_fd, 0, 0);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE, NULL, NULL, 0);  <------ EINVAL
```

After some digging the culprit is shmem_reconfigure() rejecting
!(ctx->seen & SHMEM_SEEN_NOSWAP) && sbinfo->noswap, which is bogus
as ctx->seen serves as a mask for whether certain options are touched
at all. On top of that, noswap option doesn't use fsparam_flag_no,
hence it's not really possible to "reenable" swap to begin with.
Drop the check and redundant SHMEM_SEEN_NOSWAP flag.
