When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.

This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again.  Currently:

#define MAP_SIZE (4 << 30) /* 4GB */

void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
Unevictable:     4213924 kB

munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
Unevictable:       19652 kB

mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
Unevictable:       21684 kB

Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().

The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:

mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

Inactive(anon):     4056 kB
Unevictable:     4213940 kB

munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

Inactive(anon):  4198268 kB
Unevictable:       19636 kB

mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

Inactive(anon):     4008 kB
Unevictable:     4213940 kB
