This idea should be cross-tree, so yes.. even if I'm not 100% sure whether HMM
would be a good candidate for file-backed uffd-wp, I agree we should also take
care of those.

I guess I managed to take care of all the is_swap_pte() callers but forget I
should also look for pte_to_swp_entry() users too, since sometimes pte_none()
and pte_present() is checked separately, so there're quite a few places that I
should have taken care of but got lost.  HMM is one of them.

Thanks for spotting this, Jason.  I'll coordinate in the next version.
