A non-present entry, like a swap PTE, contains completely different data
(swap type and offset).  pte_pfn() doesn't know this, so if we feed it a
non-present entry, it will spit out a junk PFN.

What if that junk PFN happens to match the zeropage's PFN by sheer chance?
While really unlikely, this would be really bad if it did.

So, let's fix this potential bug by ensuring all calls to is_zero_pfn() in
khugepaged.c are properly guarded by a pte_present() check.
