Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] mm: Call arch_swap_restore() from unuse_pte()

We would like to move away from requiring architectures to restore
metadata from swap in the set_pte_at() implementation, as this is not only
error-prone but adds complexity to the arch-specific code. This requires
us to call arch_swap_restore() before calling swap_free() whenever pages
are restored from swap. We are currently doing so everywhere except in
unuse_pte(); do so there as well.
