This an optimization for the usual case where the memory is only use in one
process and that no concurrent migration/memory event is happening. Basicly
if we can lock the page without waiting then we unmap it and the later call
to try_to_unmap() is a no op.
This is purely to optimize this common case. In short it is doing try_to_unmap()
work ahead of time.
