At least your login is no problem since folio_is_file_lru() is equal to
!folio_test_swapbacked(). But the new code is not clear to me.
The old code is easy to understand, e.g. folio_test_anon(folio) &&
!folio_test_swapbacked(folio) tells us that the anon pages which
do not need to be swapped should be skipped. So I'm neutral on
the patch.
