Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm,swap: fix a theoretical underflow in readahead window calculation

In swap readahead window calculation, if the fault PFN is smaller than
the readahead window size, underflow may occurs.  This is only
possible in theory, because the start of the virtual address space
will not be used for anonymous pages in practice.  Even if underflow
occurs, there will be no functional bugs.  In the worst cases, some
swap entries may be swapped in incorrectly and some pages may be
allocate on the wrong nodes.

Anyway, we still needs to fix the issue via some underflow checking.
