This probably needs to be introduced (and used) in a separate patch.
Please fix up those other places in the code that can take advantage of
it.

You print out the filp a number of times here, but how does that help in
a trace?  If I was trying to figure out which swapfile, I'd probably
just want to know the swp_entry_t->type, then I could look at this:

dave@foo:~/garbage$ cat /proc/swaps 
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sda2                               partition       1992052 649336  -1

to see the ordering.
