The "details" pointer shouldn't be the token to decide whether we should skip
swap entries. For example, when the user specified details->zap_mapping==NULL,
it means the user wants to zap all the pages (including COWed pages), then we
need to look into swap entries because there can be private COWed pages that
was swapped out.
Skipping some swap entries when details is non-NULL may lead to wrongly leaving
some of the swap entries while we should have zapped them.
A reproducer of the problem:

#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
int page_size;
int shmem_fd;
char *buffer;
void main(void)
{
int ret;
char val;
page_size = getpagesize();
shmem_fd = memfd_create("test", 0);
assert(shmem_fd >= 0);
ret = ftruncate(shmem_fd, page_size * 2);
assert(ret == 0);
buffer = mmap(NULL, page_size * 2, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE, shmem_fd, 0);
assert(buffer != MAP_FAILED);
/* Write private page, swap it out */
buffer[page_size] = 1;
madvise(buffer, page_size * 2, MADV_PAGEOUT);
/* This should drop private buffer[page_size] already */
ret = ftruncate(shmem_fd, page_size);
assert(ret == 0);
/* Recover the size */
ret = ftruncate(shmem_fd, page_size * 2);
assert(ret == 0);
/* Re-read the data, it should be all zero */
val = buffer[page_size];
if (val == 0)
printf("Good\n");
else
printf("BUG\n");
}

We don't need to touch up the pmd path, because pmd never had a issue with swap
entries. For example, shmem pmd migration will always be split into pte level,
and same to swapping on anonymous.
Add another helper should_zap_cows() so that we can also check whether we
should zap private mappings when there's no page pointer specified.
This patch drops that trick, so we handle swap ptes coherently. Meanwhile we
should do the same check upon migration entry, hwpoison entry and genuine swap
entries too. To be explicit, we should still remember to keep the private
entries if even_cows==false, and always zap them when even_cows==true.
The issue seems to exist starting from the initial commit of git.
