[PATCH 1/3] mm: Move arch_do_swap_page() call to before swap_free()

Commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()") moved
the call to swap_free() before the call to set_pte_at(), which meant that
the MTE tags could end up being freed before set_pte_at() had a chance
to restore them. One other possibility was to hook arch_do_swap_page(),
but this had a number of problems:

- The call to the hook was also after swap_free().

- The call to the hook was after the call to set_pte_at(), so there was a
racy window where uninitialized metadata may be exposed to userspace.
This likely also affects SPARC ADI, which implements this hook to
restore tags.

- As a result of commit 1eba86c096e3 ("mm: change page type prior to
adding page table entry"), we were also passing the new PTE as the
oldpte argument, preventing the hook from knowing the swap index.

Fix all of these problems by moving the arch_do_swap_page() call before
the call to free_page(), and ensuring that we do not set orig_pte until
after the call.
