Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/12] mm: provide is_swap_entry() and use it

Previously we have been in the insane situation where people check whether
we are in fact dealing with a swap entry by negating non_swap_entry() - so
determining if a swap entry is an entry for swap by checking that it's not
a not swap entry.

This is really rather sub-optimal, so rather than engaging in this dance,
and now we've eliminated confusing is_swap_pte() and is_swap_pmd() helpers,
and renamed non-swap entries to non-present entries, we are well placed to
introduce a new helper.

We therefore introduce is_swap_entry() for this purpose which simply
determines if a swp_entry_t value encodes an actual swap entry, and update
relevant callers to use this instead.
