Subject: mm: call arch_swap_restore() from do_swap_page()

From: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6dca4ac6fc91fd41ea4d6c4511838d37f4e0eab2 upstream.

Commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()") moved
the call to swap_free() before the call to set_pte_at(), which meant that
the MTE tags could end up being freed before set_pte_at() had a chance to
restore them.  Fix it by adding a call to the arch_swap_restore() hook
before the call to swap_free().
