When converting a swp_entry_t to pte, we need to add _PAGE_PTE,
because we later compare the pte with linux page table entries to
find a matching pte. We do set _PAGE_PTE on pte entries on linux page
table even if it is a swap entry. So add them when converting
swp_entry_t to pte_t
The stack trace can be anywhere below try_to_unuse() in mm/swapfile.c,
since swapoff is circling around and around that function, reading from
each used swap block into a page, then trying to find where that page
belongs, looking at every non-file pte of every mm that ever swapped.
