mm: munlock: fix potential race with THP page split

Since commit ff6a6da60b ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page.  There is some
attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but
code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a
non-fatal, yet wrong outcome.

First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked
from the head page to the tail pages.  Clearing PageMlocked by
munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part
of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag.  As the head page still
appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed,
munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip
all the former tail pages.  Before ff6a6da60, those pages would be
cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK
would still become undercounted (related the next point).

Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after
the PageMlocked is cleared.  The accounting might also become
inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount()

- undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are
  left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before
  ff6a6da60)

- overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already
  finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from
  additional tail pages

This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in
munlock_vma_page().  This is convenient because:

- __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation

- munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation

As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with
lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new
__munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.
