mm: slightly clarify KSM logic in do_swap_page() 

Let's make it clearer that KSM might only have to copy a page in case we
have a page in the swapcache, not if we allocated a fresh page and
bypassed the swapcache.  While at it, add a comment why this is usually
necessary and merge the two swapcache conditions.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment, per David]
