Probably pretty minor in the scheme of things but why not add this special
case directly to do_swap_page()? Your earlier "shmem/userfaultfd: Handle
uffd-wp special pte in page fault handler" adds this to do_swap_page()
anyway:

/*
* We should never call do_swap_page upon a swap special pte; just be
* safe to bail out if it happens.
*/
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(is_swap_special_pte(vmf->orig_pte)))
goto out;

So this patch could instead replace the warning with the call to
uffd_wp_handle_special(), which also means you can remove the extra
pte_unmap_same(vmf) check in uffd_wp_handle_special().

I suppose you might have to worry about other callers of do_swap_page(),
but the only other one I could see was __collapse_huge_page_swapin().
Initially I thought that might be able to trigger the warning here but I
see it checks pte_has_swap_entry() first which should skip it if it finds
the special pte.
