When do_swap_page returns VM_FAULT_RETRY, we do not retry here and thus
swap entry will remain in pagetable.  This will result in later failure.
So stop swapping in pages in this case to save cpu cycles.  As A further
optimization, mmap_lock is released when __collapse_huge_page_swapin()
fails to avoid relocking mmap_lock.  And "swapped_in++" is moved after
error handling to make it more accurate.
