mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered
Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when
the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail
pages.
Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and
munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which
contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered
using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked
flag.
This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when
PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with
THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many
pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being
skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the
PageTail flags are cleared.
However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which
is to be fixed in a separate patch.
