This was developed against mm-new to be applied and potentially
backported, but it's an RFC right now so it won't be applied anywhere.

I think you still should be checking the MMF_UNSTABLE in the swap path,
as David suggested as a hotfix [1].  Considering it's a single mm global
check before iterating, it should be checked regardless of what happens
with this RFC.
