Hi Ying,

Thanks for the review.

Later patch will extend the checker function.
I can defer this change so it won't cause confusion for reviewers.

Following commit will rewrite this part to return a enum instead of
bool, so this is just a intermediate change. And do_swap_page is the
only caller that can benefit from this, not helpful for swapoff/shmem.
I think we can just keep it this way here.
