Ok, this problem seems only happen on SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swap backends,
which now include zram, ramdisk, pmem, nvdimm.
It maybe not good to use zswap on these swap backends?
The problem here is the page fault handler tries to skip swapcache to
swapin the folio (swap entry count == 1), but then it can't install folio
to pte entry since some changes happened such as concurrent fork of entry.
Maybe we should writeback that folio in this special case.
