powerpc/mm: Fix _PAGE_PTE breaking swapoff
Core kernel expects swp_entry_t to consist of only swap type and swap offset. We should not leak pte bits into swp_entry_t. This breaks swapoff which use the swap type and offset to build a swp_entry_t and later compare that to the swp_entry_t obtained from linux page table pte. Leaking pte bits into swp_entry_t breaks that comparison and results in us looping in try_to_unuse. 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.
