mm: avoid marking swap cached page as lazyfree
MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap cache between these two steps by page reclaim. Page reclaim could add the page to swap cache and unmap the page. After page reclaim, the page is added back to lru. At that time, we probably start draining per-cpu pagevec and mark the page lazyfree. So the page could be in a state with SwapBacked cleared and PG_swapcache set. Next time there is a refault in the virtual address, do_swap_page can find the page from swap cache but the page has PageSwapCache false because SwapBacked isn't set, so do_swap_page will bail out and do nothing. The task will keep running into fault handler.
