So this looks like that your swap is already active and something
attempts to turn it on once again with the same device.  I have no idea why
but you may try to dig around your system to find reasons.  No, I do not

A typo. It was supposed to be 'blkid' (and you could/should notice
that).  You still likely want to check that UUID.
