mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()

Currently we have a different COW logic when:
* triggering a read-fault to swapin first and then trigger a write-fault
  -> do_swap_page() + do_wp_page()
* triggering a write-fault to swapin
  -> do_swap_page() + do_wp_page() only if we fail reuse in do_swap_page()

The COW logic in do_swap_page() is different than our reuse logic in
do_wp_page().  The COW logic in do_wp_page() -- page_count() == 1 -- makes
currently sure that we certainly don't have a remaining reference, e.g.,
via GUP, on the target page we want to reuse: if there is any unexpected
reference, we have to copy to avoid information leaks.

As do_swap_page() behaves differently, in environments with swap enabled
we can currently have an unintended information leak from the parent to
the child, similar as known from CVE-2020-29374:

	1. Parent writes to anonymous page
	-> Page is mapped writable and modified
	2. Page is swapped out
	-> Page is unmapped and replaced by swap entry
	3. fork()
	-> Swap entries are copied to child
	4. Child pins page R/O
	-> Page is mapped R/O into child
	5. Child unmaps page
	-> Child still holds GUP reference
	6. Parent writes to page
	-> Page is reused in do_swap_page()
	-> Child can observe changes

Exchanging 2. and 3. should have the same effect.

Let's apply the same COW logic as in do_wp_page(), conditionally trying to
remove the page from the swapcache after freeing the swap entry, however,
before actually mapping our page.  We can change the order now that we use
try_to_free_swap(), which doesn't care about the mapcount, instead of
reuse_swap_page().

To handle references from the LRU pagevecs, conditionally drain the local
LRU pagevecs when required, however, don't consider the page_count() when
deciding whether to drain to keep it simple for now.
