After grappling for a couple of hours, I've realized that the only
viable approach
is as follows: shifting the task of obtaining the first entry from the
callee to the
callers( looks silly). This is necessary due to various scenarios like
swap cache,
non-swap cache, and KSM, each presenting different cases. Since there's no
assurance of folio->swap being present, forcibly setting folio->swap could pose
risks (There might not even be any risk involved, but the associated
task getting
the first entry still cannot be overlooked by callers).

Based on the information provided, Ryan, would it be feasible to retain the task
of obtaining the first entry within the callee? Or, are you in favor
of utilizing the
new folio_swap() helper?
