Subject[RFC PATCH 3/3] mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages
Date
munlock_vma_pages_range() was always incrementing addresses by PAGE_SIZE
at a time. When munlocking THP pages (or the huge zero page), this resulted
in taking the mm->page_table_lock 512 times in a row.

We can do better by making use of the page_mask returned by follow_page
(for the huge zero page case), or the size of the page munlock_vma_page()
operated on (for the true THP page case).

Note - I am sending this as RFC only for now as I can't currently put
my finger on what if anything prevents split_huge_page() from operating
concurrently on the same page as munlock_vma_page(), which would mess
up our NR_MLOCK statistics. Is this a latent bug or is there a subtle
point I missed here ?
