Migrating file pages and swapcache pages into device memory is not supported.
The decision is done based on page_mapping(). For now, swapcache pages are not migrated.

Things can however be improved, for swapcache pages. Try to get rid of the swap cache,
and if successful, go ahead as with other anonymous pages.

I'm pretty sure the folio has to be locked in order to call folio_free_swap().
