Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/8] mm: Avoid modifying vmf.info.address in __collapse_huge_page_swapin()

In preparation for const-ifying the 'info' field of 'struct vm_fault',
rework __collapse_huge_page_swapin() to avoid continously updating
vmf.info.address and instead populate a new 'struct vm_fault' on the
stack for each page being processed.
