mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable
Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd
will not scan them over and over again.
This is achieved through various strategies:
1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that
the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and,
optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of
unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to
page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate
accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch
did.
Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked
flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable
flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I
restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new
count field.
2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c,
with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework
of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into
account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable
LRU list.
3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked()
and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma
will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path;
and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault
path" patch is included.
4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and
ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked.
Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This
effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links
as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked
vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it
does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One
hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.
Original mm/internal.h, mm/rmap.c and mm/mlock.c changes:

splitlru: introduce __get_user_pages():
New munlock processing need to GUP_FLAGS_IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS.
because current get_user_pages() can't grab PROT_NONE pages theresore it
cause PROT_NONE pages can't munlock.
