Describe the bug
When the user tries to (or has auto backups) backup system whilst a swapfile is active, it doesn't let the app (gtk) create it yet it also doesn't give out any error, giving success message to user; just creating file & no backup in the background.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'timeshift-gtk' whilst swapfile exists on to-be backed up volume
  2. Click on 'Create (snapshot)'
  3. No Error message, fake success.
    ONLY IN TERMINAL E: ERROR: cannot snapshot '/run/timeshift/4404/backup/@': source subvolume contains an active swapfile (Text file busy)

Error given to user; user notified if auto update configured.
