Subject: mm: khugepaged: don't have to put being freed page back to lru

When khugepaged successfully isolated and copied data from old page to
collapsed THP, the old page is about to be freed if its last mapcount is
gone.  So putting the page back to lru sounds not that productive in this
case since the page might be isolated by vmscan but it can't be reclaimed
by vmscan since it can't be unmapped by try_to_unmap() at all.

Actually if khugepaged is the last user of this page so it can be freed
directly.  So, clearing active and unevictable flags, unlocking and
dropping refcount from isolate instead of calling putback_lru_page().
