numa, mm, sched: Use down_write() in task_numa_work()

change_protection() needs to be called with the mmap_sem write-locked,
like the mprotect() variants do it.

With that in place we can avoid the intrusive (and partially
incorrect) page locking changes in the:

   "numa, mm: Fix 4K migration races"

patch, because the down_write() will properly serialize with the
down_read() page fault path.

Keep the cleanups and debug code removal.

In theory calling change_protection() with just down_read()
should work, but in practice it seems messy.
