Because the overall truncation loop is lockless, the swap entry is currently confirmed by a tree lookup and then deleted by another tree lookup under the same tree lock region. Use radix_tree_delete_item() instead, which does the verification and deletion with only one lookup. This also allows removing the delete-only special case from shmem_radix_tree_replace().
