Issue/Bug Description: After some updates, I see the swap size is changed into unreasonable size (21GB). It happens on my two devices PC and Laptop.

My PC with 32GB ram shows 21GB of swap, also my laptop with 16GB ram shows 21GB of swap, both should only have 4GB for swap

I dont know if it's a real partition change or just wrong string value on system-monitor app

Steps to reproduce (if you know): Update to the latest

Expected behavior: Swap size should remain the same

Other Notes:

my original swap size is 4GB (it shows correctly on disk management)

Here is my full partition (dual boot with windows. 1.1GB for boot, 4GB swap, the rest is for root)

My system monitor also started showing 21.5GB, but the swap partition is actually still only 4.3GB. So the bug is that system monitor is displaying an erroneous size, and the partition size probably isn't changing at all.

Looks like free is also giving me an incorrect swap size. This could be coming from the ZRAM config changes we made recently: https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/163

Technically not a bug because the zram block device is a swap device.

Technically not a bug because the zram block device is a swap device.

How can we differentiate between the two?
