We already implemented support for 64bit book3s in commit bff9beaa2e80
("powerpc/pgtable: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE for book3s")
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE also in 32bit by reusing yet
unused LSB 2 / MSB 29. There seems to be no real reason why that bit cannot
be used, and reusing it avoids having to steal one bit from the swap
offset.
While at it, mask the type in __swp_entry().

That's in reversed order. _PAGE_HASHPTE is bit 30 and should be on the
right hand side. Etc ...
Ugh, messed it up while converting back and forth between LSB 0 and MSB 0.

Now the patch description ("unused LSB 2 / MSB 29") makes sense.
Thanks!
Any feedback if the bit could be problematic?
