Subject: include/linux/swapops.h: correct guards for non_swap_entry()

If CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE is defined, but neither CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE nor
CONFIG_MIGRATION, then non_swap_entry() will return 0, meaning that the
condition (non_swap_entry(entry) && is_device_private_entry(entry)) in
zap_pte_range() will never be true even if the entry is a device private
one.

Equally any other code depending on non_swap_entry() will not function as
expected.
