split_huge_pmd() tries to munlock page with munlock_vma_page().  That
requires the page to locked.

If the is locked by caller, we would get a deadlock:

I don't think the deadlock is triggerable without split_huge_page()
simplifilcation patchset.

But munlock_vma_page() here is wrong: we want to munlock the page
unconditionally, no need in rmap lookup, that munlock_vma_page() does.

Let's use clear_page_mlock() instead.  It can be called under ptl.
