It was safe only because no one is accessing vmf->pte after pte_unmap_same()
returns, since the only caller of pte_unmap_same() (so far) is do_swap_page(),
where vmf->pte will in most cases be overwritten very soon.
Directly pass in vmf into pte_unmap_same() and then we can also avoid the long
parameter list too, which should be a nice cleanup.

I'd just drop the comment, it's what we do in similar code.

Funny, I prototyped something similar yesterday. I did it via
same = pte_lock_same(vma->vm_mm, vmf->pmd, vmf->pte, vmf->orig_pte);
pte_unmap(vmf->pte);
vmf->pte = NULL;
if (!same)
goto out;
To just move handling to the caller.
But this also looks fine, whatever you prefer.
