Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] mm: introduce pte_move_swp_offset() helper which can move offset bidirectionally

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@...o.com>

There could arise a necessity to obtain the first pte_t from a swap
pte_t located in the middle. For instance, this may occur within the
context of do_swap_page(), where a page fault can potentially occur in
any PTE of a large folio. To address this, the following patch introduces
pte_move_swp_offset(), a function capable of bidirectional movement by
a specified delta argument. Consequently, pte_next_swp_offset()
will directly invoke it with delta = 1.
