To be more explicit why the patch is fixing the problem: native_ptep_get_and_clear() is thought to get the old pte contents and clear the pte atomically. While the implementation via 32-bit operations was fine regarding races against other updates it was not fine regarding read accesses after having written the low word and before clearing the high word: a page fault would detect a non-zero value in the high word and assume the data being present on some swap device. My patch now removes this possible race and the problem can't occur any longer.
