mm: page migration fix PageMlocked on migrated pages
Commit e6c509f85455 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()") in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with nothing to do. Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked. I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one(). Delete mlock_migrate_page()? Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test, clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an improvement? mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.
