Yes, that is an odd corner, easily missed.

I expect you're right: swapoff used to hang forever (but interruptibly)
when this went wrong on powerpc originally.  I don't know the uffd_wp
(nor the soft_dirty) end of it, but treating uffd_wp and soft_dirty
together looks a very good approach, so I'll venture an

But I think it should have a uffd_wp Fixes tag and be Cc stable.
