VM: Found a writable swap-cached page!

With 131-ac11, VM seems to be finding a lot of writable swap-cached
pages. (Funny, I don't recall losing any. :)

It may not be irrelevant that this is one of those buggy VIA chipsets,
and I was playing sound when these messages came up. No harm seems
to have been done, the system simply up and spits out a couple of
screenfuls of 'Found a writable swap-cached page!' messages every now
and then.

Here's a sample of the messages, if it does any good:

VM: Found a writable swap-cached page!
page=c02a2930@000b7c00, found=c02a2930, count=3
