Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm/memory-failure.c: avoid calling invalidate_inode_page() with unexpected pages

Since commit 042c4f32323b ("mm/truncate: Inline invalidate_complete_page()
into its one caller"), invalidate_inode_page() can invalidate the pages in
the swap cache because the check of page->mapping != mapping is removed.
But invalidate_inode_page() is not expected to deal with the pages in swap
cache. Also non-lru movable page can reach here too. They're not page cache
pages. Skip these pages by checking PageSwapCache and PageLRU.
