A recent patch changed the format of a swap PTE. The comment explaining the format of the swap PTE is wrong about the bits used for the swap type field. Amusingly, the ASCII art and the patch description are correct, but the comment itself is wrong. As I was looking at this, I also noticed that the SWP_OFFSET_FIRST_BIT has an off-by-one error. This does not really hurt anything. It just wasted a bit of space in the PTE, giving us 2^59 bytes of addressable space in our swapfiles instead of 2^60. But, it doesn't match with the comments, and it wastes a bit of space, so fix it. Signed-off-by:
