It's been in -next for quite a while, thanks for the report!

_swap_info_get() tells us that the swp type seems to be bad.
I assume we're dealing with a migration entry, if swap is disabled, and fail to
detect is_migration_entry() correctly because the type is messed up.

Could you give the following a test?

Subject: [PATCH] arm/mm: Fix swp type masking in __swp_entry()

We're masking with the number of type bits instead of the type mask, which
is obviously wrong.
