mm: pagecache insertion fewer atomics

Setting and clearing the page locked when inserting it into swapcache /
pagecache when it has no other references can use non-atomic page flags
operations because no other CPU may be operating on it at this time.

This saves one atomic operation when inserting a page into pagecache.
