Subject: [PATCH RFC 03/13] mm/gup: Check p4d presence before going on

From: Peter Xu <peterx@...hat.com>

Currently there should have no p4d swap entries so it may not matter much,
however this may help us to rule out swap entries in pXd_huge() API, which
will include p4d_huge().  The p4d_present() checks make it 100% clear that
we won't rely on p4d_huge() for swap entries.
