There is no pte lock so that is_purged_entry isn't safe so if race happens,
do_swap_page could have a problem so it would be better to handle it
do_swap_page with pte lock because we used swp_pte to indicate purged pte.

I tried to solve it while we were in Napa(you could remember I sent
crap patchset to you privately but failed to fix and I still didn't get
a time to fix it :( ) but I'd like to inform this problem.
