Subject: [PATCH] mm: clean up is_guard_pte_marker()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Let's simplify the implementation. The current code is redundant as it
effectively expands to:

  is_swap_pte(pte) &&
  is_pte_marker_entry(...) && // from is_pte_marker()
  is_pte_marker_entry(...)    // from is_guard_swp_entry()

While a modern compiler could likely optimize this away, let's have clean
code and not rely on it.
