Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm/shmem, swap: avoid false positive swap cache lookup

From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>

If the shmem read request's index points to the middle of a large swap
entry, shmem swap in does the swap cache lookup use the large swap
entry's starting value (the first sub swap entry of this large entry).
This will lead to false positive lookup result if only the first few
swap entries are cached, but the requested swap entry pointed by index
is uncached.

Currently shmem will do a large entry split then retry the swapin from
beginning, which is a waste of CPU and fragile. Handle this correctly.

Also add some sanity checks to help understand the code and ensure
things won't go wrong.
