SELinux only knows about labels, type is the main part. The init_t is a
type of a process. It requested an access to a resource which was denied by
kernel, according to SELinux rules. In the report, we can see a request to
read a file with type swapfile_t.type

If you create a file with the suggested content and insert it as a custom
SELinux module, it will allow a group of common permissions required to
open and read a file. This change persists boot.

Remove the module:

semodule -r local_init_swapfile

Any time, you can list modules, and possibly narrow the list:

semodule -lfull | grep local_
400 local_init_swapfile cil
