If this page was swapped out and mapped back in, where does the
restoring from swap happen?

Restoring from swap happens above this in the call to gfn_to_pfn_prot()

I may have asked in the past, is user_mem_abort() the only path for
mapping Normal pages into stage 2?


That is my understanding (and yes you asked before) and no one has corrected me! ;)
