Subject: [-mm][PATCH 1/5]  fix munlock page table walk

From: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@...com>

PATCH:  fix munlock page table walk - now requires 'mm'

Against 2.6.26-rc5-mm3.

Initialize the 'mm' member of the mm_walk structure, else the
page table walk doesn't occur, and mlocked pages will not be
munlocked.  This is visible in the vmstats:  

	noreclaim_pgs_munlocked - should equal noreclaim_pgs_mlocked
	  less (nr_mlock + noreclaim_pgs_cleared), but is always zero 
	  [munlock_vma_page() never called]

	noreclaim_pgs_mlockfreed - should be zero [for debug only],
	  but == noreclaim_pgs_mlocked - (nr_mlock + noreclaim_pgs_cleared)
