Binary package hint: dphys-swapfile

As far as I can tell, the maximum swap file size logic in the script is
related to a long-gone bug in mkswap. mkswap will happily create files
beyond 2GB now, and systems with well over 2GB RAM are common. The
attached patch removes this logic. Tested successfully on on amd64 with
XFS.
