Subject: mm: shmem: freeing mlocked page

Hi all,

While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest running the latest -next
kernel, I've stumbled on the following spew:

[ 1441.564471] BUG: Bad page state in process trinity-c612  pfn:12593a

I'm slightly confused here, because the page is mapcount==0, not LOCKED but still MLOCKED...

Thanks,
Sasha
