Subject: [patch 03/11] mm: shmem: do not try to uncharge known swapcache pages

Once charged, swapcache pages can only be uncharged after they are
removed from swapcache again.

Do not try to uncharge pages that are known to be in the swapcache, to
allow future patches to remove checks for that in the uncharge code.
