Previously PTE_PROT_NONE was occupying bit 58, one of the bits reserved for SW use when the PTE is valid. This is a waste of those precious SW bits since PTE_PROT_NONE can only ever be set when valid is clear. Instead let's overlay it on what would be a HW bit if valid was set.
We need to be careful about which HW bit to choose since some of them must be preserved; when pte_present() is true (as it is for a PTE_PROT_NONE pte), it is legitimate for the core to call various accessors, e.g. pte_dirty(), pte_write() etc. There are also some accessors that are private to the arch which must continue to be honoured, e.g. pte_user(), pte_user_exec() etc. So we choose to overlay PTE_UXN; This effectively means that whenever a pte has PTE_PROT_NONE set, it will always report pte_user_exec() == false, which is obviously always correct. As a result of this change, we must shuffle the layout of the arch-specific swap pte so that PTE_PROT_NONE is always zero and not overlapping with any other field. As a result of this, there is no way to keep the `type` field contiguous without conflicting with PMD_PRESENT_INVALID (bit 59), which must also be 0 for a swap pte. So let's move PMD_PRESENT_INVALID to bit 60. In the end, this frees up bit 58 for future use as a proper SW bit (e.g. soft-dirty or uffd-wp).
