The following fixup for !CONFIG_SWAP on top, which makes it compile for me and
passes when booting on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE:

...

  checks

generic_max_swapfile_size() is only available with CONFIG_SWAP -- which
makes sense, because without SWAP there are no swap files. Let's
simply probe manually which bits we can obtain after storing them in a
PTE, and properly call it "max swap offset", which is more generic for
a swap entry.
