Previously, if page != check_page and the page was locked, we'd call mlock_vma_page()
anyways. With this change, we don't. In fact, we'll just skip that entire block not doing
anything.

If that's something that's never supposed to happen, can we add a

	VM_BUG_ON(page != check_page && PageLocked(page))

Just to cover this new code path?


Thanks,
Sasha
