High Dickins advised me to use find_get_page() rather than lookup_swap_cache()
because lookup_swap_cache() has some statistics with swap.

mm/built-in.o: In function `mc_handle_swap_pte':
/home/kamezawa/Kernel/next/linux/mm/memcontrol.c:5172: undefined reference to `swapper_space'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Ah...but I think this function (mc_handle_swap_pte) itself should be under CONFIG_SWAP.
I'll post v2.

Thank you for review!
