Originally I'm afraid page_mapping() gets invalid page_private(), but I then
realized we hold page lock. There are some places we don't hold page lock.
either such page isn't swap page or the caller can tolerate race. I forgot
removing this change in the patch. But I certainly can be wrong. We can add
memory barrier if required.

Thanks,
Shaohua
