Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/12] mm: rename non_swap_entry() to is_non_present_entry()

Referring to non-swap swap entries is simply confusing. While we store
non-present entries unrelated to swap itself, in swp_entry_t fields, we can
avoid referring to them as 'non-swap' entries.

Instead, refer to them as non-present entries, as opposed to strictly swap
entries. We achieve this by renaming non_swap_entry() to
is_non_present_entry(), which also adds an 'is_' prefix for consistency
with other similar predicate functions.

Also update comments accordingly.
