/*
 * When do_swap_page() first faults in from swap what used to be a KSM page,
 * no problem, it will be assigned to this vma's anon_vma; but thereafter,
 * it might be faulted into a different anon_vma (or perhaps to a different
 * offset in the same anon_vma).  do_swap_page() cannot do all the locking
 * needed to reconstitute a cross-anon_vma KSM page: for now it has to make
 * a copy, and leave remerging the pages to a later pass of ksmd.
 *
 * We'd like to make this conditional on vma->vm_flags & VM_MERGEABLE,
