This is broken - for check_swap to be true, nr_pages==0, which means we 
never enter the loop and nothing happens...

Except I don't believe compound_nr() will return 0 - it's defined as:

   static inline unsigned long compound_nr(struct page *page)
   {
   	return 1UL << compound_order(page);
   }

Changing it to nr_pages==1 works for me.
