mm: migrate: record the mlocked page status to remove unnecessary lru drain

When doing compaction, I found the lru_add_drain() is an obvious hotspot
when migrating pages. The distribution of this hotspot is as follows:
   - 18.75% compact_zone
      - 17.39% migrate_pages
         - 13.79% migrate_pages_batch
            - 11.66% migrate_folio_move
               - 7.02% lru_add_drain
                  + 7.02% lru_add_drain_cpu
               + 3.00% move_to_new_folio
                 1.23% rmap_walk
            + 1.92% migrate_folio_unmap
         + 3.20% migrate_pages_sync
      + 0.90% isolate_migratepages

The lru_add_drain() was added by commit c3096e6782b7 ("mm/migrate:
__unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU") to drain the newpage to LRU
immediately, to help to build up the correct newpage->mlock_count in
remove_migration_ptes() for mlocked pages.  However, if there are no
mlocked pages are migrating, then we can avoid this lru drain operation,
especailly for the heavy concurrent scenarios.

So we can record the source pages' mlocked status in
migrate_folio_unmap(), and only drain the lru list when the mlocked status
is set in migrate_folio_move().

In addition, the page was already isolated from lru when migrating, so
checking the mlocked status is stable by folio_test_mlocked() in
migrate_folio_unmap().

After this patch, I can see the hotpot of the lru_add_drain() is gone:
   - 9.41% migrate_pages_batch
      - 6.15% migrate_folio_move
         - 3.64% move_to_new_folio
            + 1.80% migrate_folio_extra
            + 1.70% buffer_migrate_folio
         + 1.41% rmap_walk
         + 0.62% folio_add_lru
      + 3.07% migrate_folio_unmap

Meanwhile, the compaction latency shows some improvements when running
thpscale:
