Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm/mlock: remove lru_lock on TestClearPageMlocked in
 munlock_vma_page

In the func munlock_vma_page, the page must be PageLocked as well as
pages in split_huge_page series funcs. Thus the PageLocked is enough
to serialize both funcs.

So we could relief the TestClearPageMlocked/hpage_nr_pages which are not
necessary under lru lock.

As to another munlock func __munlock_pagevec, which no PageLocked
protection and should remain lru protecting.
