Subject: [PATCH] mm/hmm: remove redundant check non_swap_entry()

In zap_pte_range(), the check for non_swap_entry() and
is_device_private_entry() is redundant since the latter is a subset of the
former. Remove the redundant check to simplify the code and for clarity.

This is based on the current linux tree and is intended for Andrew's mm
tree. There is no rush so it could go into 5.9 but I think it is safe
enough to go into an rc after the patch is reviewed.
