Very small nit. How about this?

Subject: [PATCH] Simplify try_to_unmap_one()

SWAP_MLOCK mean "We marked the page as PG_MLOCK, please move it to
unevictable-lru". So, following code is easy confusable.

	if (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED) {
		ret = SWAP_MLOCK;
		goto out_unmap;
	}

Plus, if the VMA doesn't have VM_LOCKED, We don't need to check
the needed of calling mlock_vma_page().
