From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>

The existing check in hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() is specific to uffd-wp
markers. Other special markers (e.g., GUARD, POISONED) would not be caught
early, leading to failures deeper in the swap-in logic.

hpage_collapse_scan_pmd()
 `- collapse_huge_page()
     `- __collapse_huge_page_swapin() -> fails!

As David suggested[1], this patch skips any such non-swap entries early.
If a special marker is found, the scan is aborted immediately with the
SCAN_PTE_NON_PRESENT result, as Lorenzo suggested[2], avoiding wasted
work.
