mm: add FOLL_MLOCK follow_page flag.
Move the code to mlock pages from __mlock_vma_pages_range() to
follow_page().
This allows __mlock_vma_pages_range() to not have to break down work into
16-page batches.
An additional motivation for doing this within the present patch series is
that it'll make it easier for a later chagne to drop mmap_sem when
blocking on disk (we'd like to be able to resume at the page that was read
from disk instead of at the start of a 16-page batch).
