mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec
Currently, munlock_vma_range() calls munlock_vma_page on each page in a loop, which results in repeated taking and releasing of the lru_lock spinlock for isolating pages one by one. This patch batches the munlock operations using an on-stack pagevec, so that isolation is done under single lru_lock. For THP pages, the old behavior is preserved as they might be split while putting them into the pagevec. After this patch, a 9% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory area with THP disabled. A new function __munlock_pagevec() is introduced that takes a pagevec and: 1) It clears PageMlocked and isolates all pages under lru_lock. Zone page stats can be also updated using the variant which assumes disabled interrupts. 2) It finishes the munlock and lru putback on all pages under their lock_page. Note that previously, lock_page covered also the PageMlocked clearing and page isolation, but it is not needed for those operations.
