Subject: [PATCH v3 09/27] mm: Introduce ZAP_FLAG_SKIP_SWAP

Firstly, the comment in zap_pte_range() is misleading because it checks against
details rather than check_mappings, so it's against what the code did.

Meanwhile, it's confusing too on not explaining why passing in the details
pointer would mean to skip all swap entries.  New user of zap_details could
very possibly miss this fact if they don't read deep until zap_pte_range()
because there's no comment at zap_details talking about it at all, so swap
entries could be errornously skipped without being noticed.

This partly reverts 3e8715fdc03e ("mm: drop zap_details::check_swap_entries"),
but introduce ZAP_FLAG_SKIP_SWAP flag, which means the opposite of previous
"details" parameter: the caller should explicitly set this to skip swap
entries, otherwise swap entries will always be considered (which is still the
major case here).
