Rework Posix error return for mlock().

Posix requires error code for mlock*() system calls for some conditions
that differ from what kernel low level functions, such as
get_user_pages(), return for those conditions.  For more info, see:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121750892930775&w=2

This patch provides the same translation of get_user_pages()
error codes to posix specified error codes in the context
of the mlock rework for unevictable lru.
