While we released the pte lock, somebody else might faulted in this pte.
So we should check whether it's swap pte first to guard against such race
or swp_type would be unexpected. But the swap_entry isn't used in this
function and we will have enough checking when we really operate the PTE
entries later. So checking for non_swap_entry() is not really needed here
and should be removed to avoid confusion.
