Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm: handle swap page faults under VMA lock if page is uncontended

When page fault is handled under VMA lock protection, all swap page
faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry
implementation has to drop and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could
not be immediately locked.
Instead of retrying all swapped page faults, retry only when folio
locking fails.
Drivers implementing ops->migrate_to_ram might still rely on mmap_lock,
therefore fall back to mmap_lock in this case.
