This patch series reworks the logic that handles swapping in page
metadata to fix a reported bug [1] where metadata can sometimes not
be swapped in correctly after commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW
logic in do_swap_page()").
- Patch 1 fixes the bug itself, but still requires architectures
to restore metadata in both arch_swap_restore() and set_pte_at().
- Patch 2 makes it so that architectures only need to restore metadata
in arch_swap_restore().
- Patch 3 changes arm64 to remove support for restoring metadata
in set_pte_at().
