Miaohe Lin 5c046235a8 mm/swap: remove confusing checking for non_swap_entry() in swap_ra_info()
The non_swap_entry() was used for working with VMA based swap readahead
via commit ec560175c0 ("mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead").  At that
time, the non_swap_entry() checking is necessary because the function is
called before checking that in do_swap_page().  Then it's moved to
swap_ra_info() since commit eaf649ebc3 ("mm: swap: clean up swap
readahead").  After that, the non_swap_entry() checking is unnecessary,
because swap_ra_info() is called after non_swap_entry() has been checked
already.  The resulting code is confusing as the non_swap_entry() check
looks racy now because while we released the pte lock, somebody else might
have faulted in this pte.  So we should check whether it's swap pte first
to guard against such race or swap_type will be unexpected.  But the race
isn't important because it will not cause problem.  We would have enough
checking when we really operate the PTE entries later.  So we remove the
non_swap_entry() check here to avoid confusion.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
