Actually, I did but found no problem except CONFIG_DEBUG_VM but rollback
after peeking [1].
When I read the description in detail by your review, I think we can remove
BUG_ON(PageTransHuge(page)) in try_to_unmap and go with no split for lazyfree
page because they are not in swapcache any more so the assumption of [1] is
not valid. Will do it in next revision.

Thanks for the review, Kirill!
