The current swapext code is supposed to skip any file that is mapped
into userspace via mmap.  So if you get a file that is actually mmaped
something is wrong with that check.  From a quick look the only problem
I see is that we don't take the iolock in ->mmap so we could add a new
mapping after the check, but I'd be surprise if that is what Michael
is seeing.
