From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: pagemap: remove remaining unneeded spin_lock()

commit: 025c5b2451e4 ("thp: optimize away unnecessary page table locking")
moves spin_lock() into pmd_trans_huge_lock() in order to avoid locking
unless pmd is for thp.  So this spin_lock() is a bug.
