[PATCH 2/8] Direct Migration V2: PageSwapCache checks

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

Check for PageSwapCache after looking up and locking a swap page.

The page migration code may change a swap pte to point to a different page
under lock_page().

If that happens then the vm must retry the lookup operation in the swap
space to find the correct page number. There are a couple of locations
in the VM where a lock_page() is done on a swap page. In these locations
we need to check afterwards if the page was migrated. If the page was migrated
then the old page that was looked up before was freed and no longer has the
PageSwapCache bit set.
