I think the case you'd like me to consider is when a file on NFS has its
mapping backed by pages that are in swap.  In that case, it makes no sense
to check the count of pages in the swap file's mapping to determine whether
to set NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA.  We actually want to optimize away the
revalidation if the NFS file lacks mapped pages.
