Thanks for your contribution to Linux.
I'm not really deep enough into the high level swapping algorithm to evaluate your patch competently, but your result looks promising. Normally this code is considered pretty fragile unfortunately so some more testing would be definitely needed. It's good that you gave a clear rationale on what you changed at least.
I would recommend to do perhaps do some benchmarks on smaller machines with the patch too (just to make sure there are no regressions on them) and possible try a few more different workloads and then post on linux-mm@kvack.org. There is where all the VM hackers tend to hang out.
