Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: fix __swp_entry_to_pte() for Xen PV guests

Normally __swp_entry_to_pte() is never called with a value translating
to a valid PTE. The only known exception is pte_swap_tests(), resulting
in a WARN splat in Xen PV guests, as __pte_to_swp_entry() did
translate the PFN of the valid PTE to a guest local PFN, while
__swp_entry_to_pte() doesn't do the opposite translation.

Fix that by using __pte() in __swp_entry_to_pte() instead of open
coding the native variant of it.

For correctness do the similar conversion for __swp_entry_to_pmd().
