Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/mlock: prepare params outside critical region

All mlock related syscalls prepare lock limits, lengths and
start parameters with the mmap_sem held. Move this logic
outside of the critical region. For the case of mlock, continue
incrementing the amount already locked by mm->locked_vm with
the rwsem taken.
