Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix KPF_SWAPCACHE

4.10-rc1 commit 6326fec1122c ("mm: Use owner_priv bit for PageSwapCache,
valid when PageSwapBacked") aliased PG_swapcache to PG_owner_priv_1:
so /proc/kpageflags' KPF_SWAPCACHE should now be synthesized, instead
of being shown on unrelated pages which have PG_owner_priv_1 set.
