[PATCH v2 11/14] mm/shmem: preserve allocation errors when swapping in large entries

["David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>]

shmem_swapin_folio() adjusts swap to the requested slot within a large
swap entry before allocating a folio. If allocation or charging fails,
the error path compares this adjusted value with the original entry
still stored in the XArray in shmem_confirm_swap().

Unless the index is at the start of the entry, this turns -ENOMEM into
-EEXIST even though nothing changed.

The caller retries -EEXIST, so persistent allocation failures can leave
the task spinning instead of returning the error.

Restore swap to index_entry on allocation failure so the existing error
path checks the original entry. This preserves the allocation error if
the entry is unchanged and still retries if it changed concurrently.
