I think that why not provide "mm" when it's available?  For
swapin_direct() called by do_swap_page(), mm can be provided.  While,
for swapin_direct() called by shmem swapin, mm will be NULL.  We can
even provide "mm" for __read_swap_cache_async() for VMA based swapin and
for the fault address for cluster swapin.
