While we released the pte lock, somebody else might faulted in this pte. So we should check whether it's swap pte first to guard against such race or swp_type would be unexpected. But the swap_entry isn't used in this function and we will have enough checking when we really operate the PTE entries later. So checking for non_swap_entry() is not really needed here and should be removed to avoid confusion.
