Although huge_pte_offset() returns NULL when encountering swap page table entries, the callers of huge_pte_offset() correctly handling swap entries. Add support to the huge_pte_offset() to return the swap entries when it encounters them during the page table walks. Also update the function documentation to explicitly state this behaviour. This is to help clarify expectations for architecture specific implementations of huge_pte_offset().
