Doesn't the test need a similar treatment to:

  2321ba3e3733 ("mm/debug_vm_pgtable: more pte_swp_exclusive() sanity checks")

Which said:
    Especially, the pfn_pte() is dodgy when the swap PTE layout differs
    heavily from ordinary PTEs.  Let's properly construct a swap PTE from swap
    type+offset.


cheers
